2012ers: New Age v. Preppers v. Rapture
OK, fess up – if you believe in 2012 to any degree then you are one of the above. You might be a mix of two or even all three, but one will be where your core 2012ism comes from.
One of the easiest ways to determine your key aspect is to ask yourself how you will react if a massive EOTW event does not occur on Dec 21 2012:
New Age – typically you will claim any good news or miracle (like a lost dog finding its owner). Most likely you have already spotted indications of the changes ahead. A lack of a major event this December won’t matter, for you will say that the change has just begun – but it might take a while. Your positivity will be continual.
Prepper - 2012 is an excuse to step up your preparations. If nothing happens, no matter – you know deep down that one day something bad will happen, and it is wise to be prepared. Even if it doesn’t happen in your lifetime, future generations might be saved by following your example.
Rapture - there’s only two ways to go if you aren’t in heaven on Dec 22: admit you’ve been duped, or agree on a new date (perhaps one that did not come from a foreign land with a different religion).
I know “deep down” that there is a day in the future when you will pass away like yesterday’s sunset, when no amount of bunker building will do you a bit of good. No amount of dry food stuff will save your miserable hide. You were born to die, and to learn a thing or two before that momentous event. I suggest you buy some life insurance. If I remember correctly, you’re concerned about what your family will do without you. Believe me, there’s nothing better than a good chunk of cash to make things better.
Good post; I understood this only very recently. If you dig deep enough that’s where you end up.
