How does it all end?
We know it does eventually, but what will it be like really?
The end always seems to be nigh but for some reason these days, my spider senses seem to be tingling for a lack of a better word. I am literally watching the fall of mankind as I predicted so, so long ago. Which is why I am so vexed that nature still allows mankind to corrupt the world while they spiral, almost like there is a preference isn't there? Some should see why some would want to start a rebellion, why choose the flawed over what was already perfect?
Countries are posturing and showing off their weapons. Apes are more concerned with showing their superiority to others even in the face of mutually assured destruction....and folks call me prideful, my pride has never led to my destruction, which is more than what I could say for what could or will happen to humanity at some point in the future.
The destruction will certainly be mutual because once those nukes start firing, the other side will do the same and you will all be nothing but ash and dust, a scattered memory taken by the air. And the eden that was this world? Well, it will be just another hell and two hells is one hell too many.
Of course should such animosities cease and the mankind avoids another war, it still has natural events and disasters to test them. And if the eggheads are right, the final end should be a few million years off, so you got plenty of time to prove me wrong, but somehow I don't think that will be. Let's face it, you never needed whispers in your ears to act on the selfish impulses that your souls are poisoned with. The potential for evil was there to begin with.
The world may end but something tells me mankind might just endure. The will to survive, a trait I do admire and you are like cockroaches after all, you will probably be spread throughout the emptyness of space long after the light of the earth is extinguished.
I wonder if such an event will be immortalized, will it be recorded? told about through oral and written history? or forgotten about as man looks forward to new stars.
Conflict is necessary, it does serve a purpose but when the weapons go from clubs to swords and then from guns to nuclear missiles. A few casualities is the least of the problems that will result. Interestingly such an event might just be both a bang and a whimper. The world won't die immediately after the bang, but it will be dying and whimpering, at least most of the animal life on it will be. The earth will just exist as a barren wasteland, devoid of life.
But the way things are going, well we will just have to wait and see won't we?
Not everything can be predicted, but the past can show you the future if you don't learn from it.
"This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper."
