Okay I've been meaning to blog about this issue for a while! Although I have been known to shake my head at any mention of the end of the world occurring this year in December, I actually don't really think it's a bad thing to consider the apocolypse.

I think we all need some kind of reason to reorganize our priorities. And if not out of fear of the end of the world, then maybe out of fear of death. People have always been scared to death (haha) of what comes after we die--it's nothing new. Poets consider it, writers consider it, even our parents consider it because they write wills! And in considering the end we think about what really matters. 

So maybe the end of the world isn't such a bad thing. In theory. I mean, I wouldn't want the world ending, but maybe I want people to think it's ending...?
