Ever get a weird feeling something really bad was going to happen on the planet?

Question

Im just curious,everyone I've spoken too seems to carry this unspoken foreboding of the not so distant future.I wonder is there something to it or is it imaginations gone wild?

Answer 1

It depends on your definition of "Really bad".  Currently there are 2 hurricanes heading towards the US mainland, Russia is sabre rattling,as is Iran, China and N. Korea, not to mention ongoing tension in middle east what with the wars in Iraq and Afganistan.  There is still an aids pandemic happening and wars/famine/drought and megalomaniac dictators blighting Africa and oil and energy wars just around the corner, but on the plus side there is an evens chance that nice Barack Obama might get elected and sort out the worlds' problems - but unlikely!  D'you think you need much imagination to have a foreboding of doom?

Answer 2

We live in an age where everyone is trying to cause everyone else to be scared of something so that they'll do what that person or group wants them to do.  Environmentalists say the world is going to burn up from carbon emissions and cow farts if we dont do what they want, republicans say we'll all be cannon fodder for THE TERRORISTS (gasp!) if we don't keep voting them into office, etc.  And every time you turn on the news you hear about the newest rape, murder, kidnapping, gang expanson, or natural disaster to destroy so many people.  It's no wonder everyone thinks bad things are going to happen.  And you know what?  They right!  I can guarantee you 100% that right now, as I type this, hundreds of people have just died from some contageous disease, famine, violence, tornado or mudslide somewhere on this planet... just like it always has been since the dawn of time and will always be.  It's life.  We just hear more about it now because it's sensational, and now everyone is a nervous wreck thinking about it.  It's really quite silly.  Our planet has always been a violent and changing world, and you have the same chance of personally experiencing a catastrophe as you did 10 years ago.  The "foreboding" is simply from them listening to waaay more people than they should instead of just living their lives.  My advice: Don't sweat it.  Peace.

Answer 3

I feel that its not something bad unless we make it bad, I feel its energy and energy is just energy, it just that and what we make it, is what it is. I feel something, but I feel that what ever it is, in my world I  its good.

Answer 4

Just look around ,something bad is happening all the time and I guarantee it is going to get worse!  Just get you a bible and read your future!

Answer 5

I think people like to feel that time is short, so they have to get things done now, hence the endless conspiracy theories that the world will end in 2012 as the Mayans predicted, or end in 2064 as Issac Newton predicted, etc. there will always be apocalyptic theories, that always prove to be wrong. like y2k and the like.
