There are some people in my life that inspire me to tackle life in a different way, but I don't seem able to change how I am to be able to do so. Where they are facing the ultimate of challenges, they are just working on at keeping on, and speaking positively in the way they travel through life. One is going to try to keep working, but with a back up plan, and the other is not working but keeping on living to the full, travelling and visiting family, and heading out for outings.
I just do not have the nature to be so positive in the face of difficulties, to the annoyance of my husband, who finds my pessimism annoying. Interestingly a study that looked at the long term survival rates of cancer subjects this year, showed that positive thinking did not increase the rate of survival. It seems to have more to do with your body and how it responds to the treatments and how it fights.
Which leads me to today, the end of the world number 3560000000000000? How many times and in how many communities before our global connection has the end of the world been declared to be coming on a set day? If the bible is to be believed watch out not on the day of prediction but around it. Why is that, because the bible tells us that only the Father knows the time of the end, and man won't. So these big predicitions make we wonder about the people who go into doomsday mode, do they think they can survive the end of the world? If it is the end of the world, then no one will survive.
Nuclear disaster is a different thing when it strikes there is a chance that people can survive the armageddon, and live a life afterwards, but I wonder what kind of life that would be.
