Delicious.com served this last thing and unfortunately i can’t keep my skepticism to myself;  please read it first, it really collects two point of views and all the events concerning.

It’s funny some days back people started talking again, after what seems a really long time in my opinion, of the end of the world / life.  It is interesting to see what people (we) fear most in our lives and death, I think, is  the subject of choice.  However fear of the unknown, or in other words fear of the future, fear of what has to come on which we do not have any control. We do not control the evens nor the outcome, we don’t even know what will happen at all and that’s the fear we have. We swear to everybody that we have ‘full control’ of our lives but in reality we are but in control for a minor part. We drive the car but don’t reach the pedals so to speak.

Doomsday / Judgment-day / Armageddon / end of ….who knows ?

Every religion has an doomsday scenario build it, you basically get the complete package, creation – life – destruction ain’t that cool? However the people some hundreds of years back were quit ingenious because they didn’t set a date for doomsday so their bound to have it right…it will come someday.

Somewhere people need fear, why? Because we need to have excuses to do things stupid or just without a good explanation. Saying today may be the last day they live.

People tend to like predictions, lots of people make them and even more believe them.  And after it we don’t hear anything anymore from them. What also can be seen really funny is that every prediction has a fixed date, like we’re going to write it down in an agenda.

Why 21 Dec 2012?

“Look Ma….now we can write it down in our agenda! Ain’t that cool?”

Because the Mayan calendar ends then, right nice, good reason keep going genius. Maybe they didn’t know how to count further then 5125 and it’s only  reference is one stone, if it was really that big you would see it all over their temples besides did the archaeologists and translators made the right conclusion, it wouldn’t be the first time we would have to rethink our conclusion(s) on facts.

Before 1975 people also thought that the world would end, and hmmm well what do we know, hey we’re in 2009 weird….doesn’t it? I don’t feel dead, do you or even can we say we’re alive or that we’re dead or what if we’re on an other plain of existence?….scares the crap out of me and you?

Why would this or that happen to us?

“A punishment or god”, “it’s fate”, “it is because it has to be like that”

Honestly, there ain’t a bigger thrill then scaring the life out of someone else now is there? We give millions of reasons why and it all comes down to one thing, because we don’t understand it (yet), therefor it’s a good enough reason. it’s a bit like with myths in ancient Greece; That what we cannot yet comprehend we explain by something even more bizarre.

We’ll in any case….see you on Dec 21st 2012 (evil laughter)

P.s.: check the sources in the other website (own responsibility) but it’s fun to read.

Lower the pay of everybody worldwide.

It’s simple if everybody earns less there would be more money for growth, even if it’s just 1 or 2 euros. And lower the costs of hiring staff. In belgium, a company gives about 1000 euros to a staff member and 1000 to the governement, which is much. But hey it was because in the seventies they made a huge hole and now they have to fill it up.

If the companies have to pay less, the resources will cost less and as a result of that everybody would pay less for a bread (exemple). Because now the opposite is happening, people want more money but that money has to come from somewhere, so the companies will ask more money to compensate the loss and that results eventually in a Status Quo because in percentages you’ll pay as much then for a bread as you do now. Unfortuananly nobody sees it. People open your eyes.
