A post after a real long time;
but to be fair, the 12th grade isn’t exactly the ‘go down swinging’
type, especially if you are training yourself for the IITs.
Do you know the variety of fates
of the world that have been portrayed in different texts all over the world? On
one hand, the Devil, or Lucifer to be specific, walked the face of the Earth
last time, and Noah was building a boat; while on the other hand, God himself
will arrive in the state of complete atheism in the Universe, to be the ‘ultimate
chastiser’, or the one that enlightens for once and for all (No, not the calm
manner exactly). Interestingly enough, the Hollywood too has brought forward
another form of Apocalypse, which the Pagans have clutched on.
But do you know what the modern saints have to say about their form
of End o’ the World? You might have heard about how the Sun will engulf the
Earth, by increase in its mass, due to the constant combustion nuclear fusion
and fission, and thus exhaustion of gases like helium, hydrogen, which in turn
would result in… Argh! In short, Sun eats up Earth after some billion years.
Now, go back to each end, and try
to see something that is common to all. It is the base of the end. Each of them
is to teach humans that the end is inevitable, be it a business, a
relationship, or the entire life. Or maybe, the end of the universe, The Big
Crunch. It doesn’t depend whether it is an evil power or the divine. In the
end, living life in your own way is what makes the difference, trying to make a
change for a better world is what makes the difference.
