I cannot count the number of people who have spoken to me about the “end of the world” that supposedly occurs on December 21, 2012 according to the Mayan Calendar. This belief to me is similar to the 2000 hoax regarding the YK2 problem or as I like to call it “The 2000 Version of the Emperor’s New Clothes". Do you remember the Nostradamus eclipse of 1999? No shocking event happened after it.
Could 2012 be like the YK2 problem that once the Mayan calendar cycle is set to zero, it will reset itself like an odometer or clock striking midnight? Or like the YK2 problem the computer resets itself to 2000 without any help from the programmers?
Being a sci-fi addict, I enjoyed the movie 2012. It’s about the biggest expiry date known to mankind and it is another example of fear controlling the masses. (Similar to the H1N1 flu shot phenomenal.)
The movie's storyline is believable. The action and special effects are amazing. The movie provokes thought such as what is important in my life? We get to view a world gone mad and see the resulting climax. I give this film high marks for entertainment.
Since my second near-death experience in 1996, I've thought a lot about expiry dates. In the movie, Blade Runner, the robots searched for their maker, in order to obtain their expiry dates.
What does 2012 have to do with writing? If you knew your expiry date, would it prompt you to finish your non-fiction book or novel or any dream that you have for your creative life? Do you wish to arrive at heaven’s door with regret? If you died tomorrow what would be your greatest regret? What would cause your heart to ache? What would cause your soul to tremble and ten thousand tears to fall? Even if you stood before God, you would remember it.
Most people when dying speak of things that they didn't do with regret.
Live your dream. Begin today. Make peace in your world.
Life is too short to harbour regrets.
