I must firstly state i have read through most of the entirety of this thread. I must say that i am exerting a good deal of genuine distress, over the
apparent complacency of "2012's," "Inevitable Consequences." I am of a group tasked with the large scale maintenance of equilibrium. This stated,
the notion of 2012 has both my group and i greatly concerned. Our purpose, heritage, and duties lye in the preservation of stability and, if a
fragile, peace. The entire concept of 2012 is viewed as a great existential threat to our cause, and literally centuries of sacrifices. I can say from
my ancestry that we view this "event," as that of a imposed arbitrary cataclysm. In all knowledge we view the "Apocalypse Event," as a significant
and important one, however in a severely different context than that of the rest of the world. That aside, i must express my great skepticism in the
concept of a "destined global event." However unlikely, however illogical, i too must conclude that such an event(s) are highly probable, if not
definitive. I state this because not of a historic predisposition, celestial event, or supernatural encounter, but of a purely "worldly" cause. So
many people, groups, cults, religions (etc...) have adopted this concept of "The End of the World," in 2012, i would have no doubt that individuals,
groups, faiths (etc...) will do everything in their power to ENSURE that something befitting of 2012 occurs. Whether this is politically,
economically, spiritually, or conspiracy driven, i cannot say; but is in all likelihood to be caused by one or more of these groups. I find this
troubling at best, and disturbing at worst; the own planned destruction of all that which the world holds so dear for simple carnal, and archaic
beliefs.
My second concern is the exponential cornucopia of lackadaisical and complacent dichotomies regarding this event. The "Oh well, it's going to happen
no matter what, what can you do?" Is simply... Well, unacceptable; if "The End" truly cometh, do us all a favor and end your "suffering" at you
own hand, and not at the expense of those whom wish to fight, regardless of the battles futility.
The Shards live by a saying, we initiated centuries ago:
"We would rather die on our feet facing the fire, than live on our knees."
You may wish for the "World to End," along with what apparently is a life not worth living, so be it. But i ask that you do not attempt to preclude
the entire fate of humanity to that of your own. I do not claim to hold the truth, although my kin may disagree; we do hold answers, and i can
unequivocally answer, that this is not it!
I am sure that my words will bleed with poison, and cynicism, however this is expected, and therefore will fall upon deaf ears. However those few who
revel in the light of peace and civilization, and are willing to endure the "pain of life" in such of times, in hopes of creating a better world
than before, know this fact! YOU ARE NOT ALONE. We may not be legion vast, but the tiniest of numbers can tip the scales of destiny and future, it can
tip the darkness into the light.
To all those whom seek thy end, indulge yourselves, lay down as the world rolls over you, and do not concern yourselves, we shall shed not a tear over
your departure, for we will be locked in the heat of battle for all the light, hope, and goodness left in the world, even while it lay in ashes. WE
are the PHOENIX, we may be broken, we may be nearly defeated, but our dying breath will resurrect us from the ashes, and rise stronger and brighter
than before.
