Hypothesis: do we really believe in prophecies? Would we live according to what seems to be our destiny revealed through the prophecies? Or we just listen to them and carry on our lives regardless of these images from the “revealed” destiny?
Right now when the world that we live, seem to be diving in a deep negativity and uncertainty; It seems that this pull the trigger of some particular behaviors, because the people felt so overwhelmed by the circumstances that tend to grab themselves to something that they consider certain in their lives, this gives them a sense of security, something that most people need in this times; Part of this behaviors is closely connected with this: The prophecies.
Allow me to check in a very quick way: Nostradamus, one of the biggest celebrities in this field, the Mayan prophecies, The book of revelations (apocalypses), the third secret of Fatima, the secret code of the bible (The author said that in 2006, will be at high risk of a Nuclear confrontation, off course you and I knew that this thing never happen) and even some scientific prophecies like the expected crash of an asteroid against the earth that will destroy all the life in earth by creating a widespread cloud of dust, that will prevent the sun light to reach the earth, killing the plants and subsequently killing all the life on this planet, or simply the degrading pace of the earth environment, a pandemic (The chicken Flu?), or maybe an electromagnetic pulse that will destroy all our electronic equipment getting us back to the Neanderthal Times, oh yeah grab your stick to find a girlfriend, instead of your car, your looks, your money!(See, pretty much the same that today without our mobiles! laptops and stuff!!!), or whatever.
So, this is the end of it?, do you remember the guy from Waco Texas?, David Koresh, nothing happen, and we are still here; For me standing on a rational point of view, this things fall In the field of interpretations, and conspiracy theories, do we need to pay attention to them?, what happen with those guys directed by David Koresh, this people genuinely believe that he was a Messiahs and that the end of the world, was near!, would you think in the same way?
What happen with all those prophecies that didn´t fulfill at all? What happen then? And what happen with that poor stupid people who get caught in those false cults of fake prophecies?
What would happen with the one that it´s true? We never believed in that, because we are rational beings, but we really would felt stupid if a real predicted catastrophe happen! Maybe we didn’t have time to realize what happen because we will be death, all of us!!! (It starts to sound like Seinfeld “discourse” right?).
Why is so appealing to us this kind of subjects?, it´s because we have fear of discover our own very destiny?, I don´t care if my destiny is written in the stars (it makes it sound more interesting), but you are a mere puppet, you just have to fulfill your destiny, I don´t believe in that!, and if that’s true I would live my life creating the illusion that I have a choice, a choice to live a great life or complaining all the time, a choice to pick my wife, the choice of NOT use a car, because I want to help preventing the global warming, or simple because I found another way of thinking!, we have to be able to choose were we going to live!, or at least to be stupid enough to not see the difference between your “choices” and the fact that you are fulfilling your destiny!, A written destiny.
