end of the world

Just watched 2012 but this post is not about the movie. Well, freaky as it may sound, but I suddenly felt the idea of entertaining end-of-the-world thoughts. Must be brought about by the homily, then the movie, then the idea that what if really, the world is ending soon, what is the point of finishing my StartMan case which I have postponed reading for the nth time during the weekend. Should I go to work tomorrow? Should I bother attending my classes? Should I pay my piling bills? Should I just go surfing all day? Hehehe.. (see, my post is not that creepy at all)

What would you do if you found out that in 10 days, everything is over? Is it the same feeling as knowing you are gonna day but this time, everyone is also having the same fate as yours? Is it better not knowing and just live everyday as if it is your last or wouldn’t it be better to know when the precise time is? Knowledge is power! What yould you do just to know?

If I seriously think this, I will end up really scared because my family is in Batangas. If doomsday is similar to what movies show, will I have the energy to walk through SLEX? Will my family meet me half-way? Funny as I put it but seriosly, it’s scary, isn’t it?

I guess in the end, it all boils down to the essentials: faith, hope and love.

Faith - that everything is happening for a reason. Faith that our God is not a judgmental God but a forgiving God. Faith! No reason necessary.

Hope - that no matter what all scientific findings, no amount of pressure will make you give up to survive. Hope that someday, perhaps in another realm, things are going to make sense. Hope! All reasons acceptable.

Love - and they say the greatest of all is love. Love that makes Faith and Hope fighting and working. Love! The reason itself.

So faith, hope and love, and the greatest of all is love.
