I have no fear of the end of the world

[MrScorpio]

It must be some madness of the mind that grips this planet. A willingness to destroy all there is because it's there. Frankly, I'd rather embrace life... The sights, sounds, smells and touches. Being with friends and family, with being as the operative word. One reason I bought my convertible is because on sunny days I can drive past the trees and feel the wind against my face. Despite all the problems I have in my life and all the problems that exists in this world, a drive on a sunny day with the top down makes life worth living.

I know that I have the precious gift of life today, because of choices that were made by my parents and the many circumstances that happened in my own life that brought me to this particular place and time. It's a gift to be cherished. So why would I or anyone else want to give up on being? Sure, it'll happen to each and every one of us eventually when it is our turn to shuffle off of this mortal coil, in our own particular oeuvre, but lets face it: breathing is preferable to not breathing.

Wishing, predicting, fearing, prompting the end of all existence is contrary to the laws of nature. Nature would rather have us stick around... Without life, nature would cease to exist. I'd rather be natural. Makes sense, right?

I could say that all of this End Times madness is just that, madness. Madness and a scam. It's a "grass is greener" bait and switch grift. It's been around all of my life, I've grown to ignore it. I'll continue to ignore it as life goes on, defying the very premise of the Anti-Life hawkers and schemers.

If I were you and you're worry about, I'd think about something else... Like how dew forms on the blades of grass in the quiet morning sunshine. About how birds sing their happy choruses. How children play in the pre-dusk repose of the evening. About that song that makes you blush and the love that you make.

In other words, all in all, I'm just asking you to come on back down to Earth and most of all do this... Get a life.

1. Haven't seen you in quite a while

I was down the hold just passing time
Last time we met was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time
Except you-
You were talking about the end of the world

I took the money
I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think
You lead me on with those innocent eyes
You know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You...you were acting like it was the end of the world

In my dream I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows, they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret and waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You...you said you'd wait 'til the end of the world

2. I Have No Fear, Either

I enjoy life to the fullest extent and appreciate every breath, as well. That's what we all SHOULD do.
You have a free will to believe what you choose, and I choose not to call YOUR beliefs "madness" or a "scam", even though I believe differently...

3. Great post, Mr. Scorpio...

I really enjoy life and the wonders of the world around us all ...I find it amusing that people think I am on drugs here because of my posts here...Even one of my bosses at work has called me an "outsider" just because I drive a beautiful 30 year old car me and my dad restored ourselves (You should get a new car he always says when I lament the ordeal of finding parts for it)...He also cannot believe I've never owned a credit card when he himself boasts of a 14 page long credit history!

Fuk'em I say...I march to my own rhythm! :)

4. OOH! You Got It Like THAT?

You say eff'em if we don't believe what you believe?
I wasn't aware, but guess I should have been, huh?

I'll leave you all alone to enjoy your hatred and judging...

[MrScorpio]

5. Since all belief is personal, it would be a shame for one

To cancel out another.

My point is that belief shouldn't be responsible for canceling out our very existence and our very world.

6. Judging?

who is judging who here?

Hatred? Who is the one who's expressing hatred here?

Certainly not me...

What exactly is your beef with me?

By the way have you ever noticed that the cuticles of your fingernails resemble little crescent moons?

Try throwing me a heavyweight question, perhaps I might put some thought into my reply...

(on ed) By the way, thecai, I think you're a really good person...if I have ever offended you for something I've said in the past, then I apologize...nothing personal was ever meant...

[thecai]

7. Well, Thank You Tom Kitten

That was nice of you to say that, and for apologizing. I'm sorry if I misunderstood. It just seemed like "f em" is hateful. And it seemed Mr. Scorpio's comments were judgemental.
