The clock on the wall already counted 15 minutes into hour one of January 1^st of “Year 2 Thousand”.

But… the Earth is not quacking, no volcanoes have erupted, no flying meteors hitting us…the world isn’t ending!
Some cults believed the world would end that day, but it didn’t.


I was sitting home watching people from all over the world celebrating this moment that presents itself only once every
ONE THOUSAND years. And not to lie to you, I thought all the years to come were gonna be peaceful, full of progress and things would go from good to better to best (Hey, I was only 11 years old)

But here’s what actually happened:

Tsunami: Sumatra, 2004
9.1 magnitude earthquake!! struck and triggered a tsunami. 230,000 deaths

European Heat Wave, 2003
35,000 people died.

H1N1 Swine Flu and H5N1 Avian Flu
nearly 10,000 deaths

Sichuan, China Earthquake and Flood 2008
24,000 lives lost including 5300+ children in a collapsed school and 80,000 injured.

And the most horrific man-made mistake towards nature: Global warming!!

“such events were very common in the previous decade (2000-2009). One could argue these events were more common than in previous decades”


We don’t need an “end-of- the-world” prophecy, we’re killing the Earth ourselves… and we’re doing a very good job at it. & if we keep doing what we’re doing, this planet won’t last for another one thousand years… heck it won’t last for another five hundred. Or in other words, WE are the ones who won’t last.
