Right, I have had one or two drinks tonight and I think that it would help if all of my concerns were addressed in a way that others may be able to read and agree or disagree or maybe just ignore.

Number 1 - World war 3 is already under way. It may not be as we may have thought it would be but with british and american troops in the middle east and afghanistan and al q'aeda bombing countires all over the world.. can this not be classed as a global war? I have not researched anything in any detail and only know what the news tells me but the way things are going it looks as though it can only escalate before it gets better. At what point would it be classed as a world war if this isn't it already?

Number 2 - I have come to my senses and realised that there is a strong possibility that 9/11 was organised and carried out by the US government. Where we are today military wise leads mainly back to the events of that day. It all just seems oo convenient.

Number 3 - The global economy is receeding. The news assures us that it is not a recession but everything seems to look that way to me. House prices are higher than ever, Fuel prices are higher than ever, Major banks are having fincancial problems, money is becoming a huge problem.. globally. Is it due to the billions of dollars/ pounds being spent on the ongoing wars? Plus the billions being spent on research and development of military resources.

Number 4 - The climate is changing.. whether it is a man made phenomena or natural, there is no escaping the fact that the weather is becoming more and more extreme. Super hurricans, ice storms, floods in the summer, winter and summer temperatures levelling off to create a single season, Glaciers and ice caps melting faster than ever... it doesnt bode well for us humans.

Number 5 - Political correctness.. i dont know about elsewhere but in the UK it is ridiculous.. i wouldnt even know where to start with this but you cant say or do anything without the fear of being offensive.

Number 6 - Illegal immigration - We have millions of illegal immigrants in the UK using our resources, living in our houses, raping our women, and killing british citizens. I know the former only aplies to a minority of immigrants but still.. it is happening. We shouldn't be allowing it, they shouldn't be here. What happens in their countries is their problem. As harsh as it sounds i believe it is true. If you have a virus, the best way to stop it spreading is to stay in isolation.. don't go visiting your neighbours to tell them you have it and sleep on their sofas.

Number 7 - Gerneral anamosity - People all over the world are so hostile to eachother, where is the compassion, where is the humanity? It should be natural to 'love thy neighbour' and to help others. People seem so intent on having their own lves the way THEY want it, that they disregard every other being on the planet. If we are to survive this mess of a planet, we need to work togehter regardless of race, religion, gender, social background or otherwise.

We all need to remember that despite our differences, we are all the same.. human being, born as a child with no knowledge of the world we are then shown by others how we should live and then we all will die. Is it really worth living your life, making others miserable and destroying the very thing that made your life possible?

It is unfortunate that the decent ones have to live their whole lives with all of these problems pushed onto us. It is a waste of billions of lives that have the potential without miltary, political, finiancial, agressive and destructive interferences to be something that could be so different.

I know that all that I have written has no specific 'section' to be put in, it has no real meaning or structure. I'm not a writer and im not out to prove anything.. im just a human being with feeling and would like others out there to take a step back and re evaluate there lives and how what they do affects others and how they are effected by the powers that we have no control over.

50/50

Edit - Ok so i'm a little drunk.. after reading it properly it may see to be nonsensical and badly written but i'm going to leave it theway it came from my head at the time.. If you think it's a waste of your time and a load of crap... move on

Sure sounds like the End of Days doesn't it? Death, Destruction, War, Economic Collapse.etc etc-it's all we see on the tube these days... It's stressful times indeed. It feels as if tensions are rising right along with global temperatures. The earth is changing and we're changing with it... The whole damn thing is vibrating at a higher frequency!
But have no fear my friend, the world isn't ending anytime soon. The only way thru all the nonsense is a to find little faith and little spirit. Look to the inside, find peace there, and all will be merry.

Cheers

You forgot to add, you start to die the day you are born!

I agree with you on just about everything you said. The world seems so overwhelming at times, that it just seems like a helpless mess all the way around, which it is for the most part.

On the animosity point (#7) that is up to each and every individual. You seem to recognize it, so be a catalyst for change that way. Watch your own attitude and maybe it will rub off on other people.

Life is worth living. All it's good days, and bad, happy and sad, constitute what living is. If I had a chance of going back and changing a single day, I would never even consider it.

It's easy to get sucked into the doom and gloom, and to forget all the good things about life. The simple things, like a beautiful sunny day, the giggle of a child at play, or a star lit night.....(you can think of more!)

Just be thankful for the good, simple things you have in life, and don't let the other bits ruin it all for you!

I just made myself laugh that I wrote a silly rhyme in here without even trying! Something small yet I enjoyed it!

I'm not sure what I think about 2012 yet.. I'm pretty sure that the whole world isn't going to end. However, I definately wouldn't count out something major happening. (Also, I agree with you on a lot of your points.. the world is upside-down already, no need to hold out for 2012!)

I recommend you read up on the history of this world and you'll see that it's always been this way. I don't understand this obsession with the end of the world nonesense. It isn't helping.

It´s been a long road, getting from there to here.
It´s been a long time, but my time is finally near.
And I can feel the change in the wind right now. Nothing´s in my way.
And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna hold me down.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

It´s been a long night. Trying to find my way.
Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day.
And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.
And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna change my mind.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

I´ve known the wind so cold, and seen the darkest days.
But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change.
I´ve been through the fire and I´ve been through the rain.
But I´ll be fine.


Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith.


I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

It´s been a long road.

I am ready for whatever the universe has to dish out. Bring it on.

" Because of the increase of lawlessness, the love of many shall grow cold" (Matthew 24:12).


So weird. My mother just responded to an email of mine and quoted that last verse. LOL It had nothing to do with this topic....but something completely different on a more pesonal level.

Crazy.

I grew up in the 70s. There was ALWAYS people preaching "doom and gloom" and the end of the world was near. My life only seems to get better over time, to be perfectly honest. Soooo.

But my eyes and ears and mind are always open!
