The Second Coming

People often talk about the end of the world and the apocalypse.  Someone every year says that the world is going to end.  Everyone was convinced that it would happen in 2000 and then again in 2012 but as you can see I am still very much alive.  This is not a new concept to our society.  People have being trying to predict the end of the world, well since the creation of man.  Yeats believed that the world revolved in 2000 year cycles and the Christian world would fall around the year 2000.  This is what he is talking about in his poem "The Second Coming".  I however do not get caught up in this end of the world thing.  The world is going to end for everyone at some point, we all have do die don't we? So what does it matter if the apocalypse happens right now? It doesn't matter that's the answer.  If we live for today and live our lives to the fullest we will not fear death.  This can be summed up by my favorite quote: “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time- Mark Twain.
