Dont worry about it so much? I think in truly facing ones death (and not just writing it off for when one "gets there") can feel liberating in many senses. Regardless of what will, or wont, happen on any given date, will it change how you are living your life? When i thought about what kind of life this one would like to look back on, the answer was clear to me.

Why do you have fear? What, exactly, are you afraid of? I think the quote "we have nothing to fear, but fear itself" might be very applicable. It seems once one starts going in that direction, its too easy to continue that whirlpool. the unknown almost always brings anxiousness, but that isnt a "bad" feeling, as many i know make it out to be. we experience the same feeling before things like christmas, as children. In that context, it is called anticipation (or "butterflies") though. The experiential part seems to be no different, until our minds start to take it in certain directions.

edit: i also see mention of y2k. do remember that there were databases that would have had serious problems. due to people working very hard to fix this, very, very few problems occurred. Either way, if no one had done anything, there would have been significant problems in certain databases, but certainly nothing "doomsday." Other than, perhaps, peoples reactions to such things. It is another case of peoples minds taking them for a ride.

Don't Panic

If you don't know what that's from, look it up. Read it. It'll help. I promise. Arthur Dent thought so.

Nothing to fear. It's only a rumor that the entire world will come to a screeching halt on December 21, 2012. That everything on the planet will die. That nothing of our civilization will remain. That the habitat that is our Earth will be wiped from the solar system. That no intelligent being will ever know of the existence of our race...

Just kidding. The rumors are based on a misread Mayan calendar. The cycle doesn't end. It just starts anew. I, for one, think the world could benefit from a Reset.

It is just another day, No one from the past, present, or future will ever be able to tell you when you will die. This is one of life's great mysteries, you will do nothing but eat yourself alive worrying about something you will never know. Kick back, have a bud or two and enjoy life.

Look like mate, don't.

When I got into conspiracy in 2004, the buzzword at that time was 2007. Back then I was a lurker on ATS, but also on GLP with the doomers and gloomers, and having just heard about the conspiracy of the 3rd secret of fatima (allegedly relating the the 3rd world war), a lot of religious sites too, despite not being that much a religious person. I used to s**t it when there was mention of Iran/NK and their nukes in the news. I genuinely though that the WW3 of 2007 was around the corner during the Lebanon conflict. All of it was unfounded. Chillax, and live your live. Of course there are phophecies of the second sun (think more supernova than 'Niburu' - I am researching this ATM and is more likely ) but what can we do. The hunted cannot hide from the hunter forever

Is it maybe because you feel you should be approaching life differently?

I know this one reacted in a similar fashion to an approximate situation years ago (did not have to do with 2012 though).

edit: it seems you did say something similar to this in that last post. well, this one figured i could do nothing about the past, but made a decision, a choice, to live differently. the first change i made was a perspective shift on what i was already doing, as i felt that was a source, or possible source, of issues.

Hey we all die.

If something happens on 21 Dec 2012, I am sanguine with it. The only thing you can be certain of as a human, is that you WILL die and cease to exist, be it in a cataclysm or old age.

Unless you believe in reincarnation

We are all dieing the moment we are born - a foregone conclusion.

What is there to be afraid of?

I am enjoying my ladylove, and five wonderful cats, and two tortoises. I intend to be loving them on 22 Dec 2012.

And if not, I and they will be back.

Or I wont know a thing about it.

The words of the hymnal "Amazing Grace" come to mind:

"When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun."

The world is not going to end on any date that man can predict.
