Lately, the movie '2012' has become a great hit among our friends, everyone is talking about how great and how breath-taking each catastrophe scene in the movie is.
I went to watch the movie last night, truly it is one of the movies that you don’t want to missed. The special effects and technology arrangements of the movies are great, but I find it not ‘deep’ enough, deep as in the feelings and emotions of each characters, it couldn’t impact too much on me, and it is the END OF THE WORLD that we are talking about here! Unlike the late 1990’s classics – TITANIC, with only an event that happened within one night, it makes me remember for life, and mind you, TITANIC is a movie that I’ve watched 17 times, and still find it captivating…
According to the ancient prophecy by Michel Nostradamus, December 20, 2012 will be end of the world. What is the first thing that come to your mind when a person mention to you 'end of the world'? Most of us will think of something very physical - the pain that we have to go through, the blood that we will shed. What about feelings? What about emotions? And what about spiritual?
If today is the end of the world, what do you want to do? Do you still want to go on chasing the dreams – money & fame that you have been chasing all these years? Do you still want to go on delaying telling that special someone you love him/her, thinking that you’ll still have a chance to do so tomorrow? Or do you still want to go on telling your parents that you do not have time to have a meal with them, because of the never-finish deadlines and works?
I am not trying to make you pessimistic about the future or trying to send out negative energy that will make you worried or panic. You and me, everyone in this world, we have always been taking life for granted, thinking that we’ll have chance to do what we always wanted to do tomorrow hence keep procrastinating some events in life that we will regret forever if tomorrow never comes. Life is short, why live it with regrets?
Come on, people… End of the world might or might not come, but why wait till then to treasure those we love? Tell them now, and show them now, how much they mean to you… Like I said, life is short, live life to its fullness, even if today is really the end of the world, your family, spouse or that special someone knows that you love them dearly, there’ll be nothing for them to regret living this life with you… Don’t you think so?
