The World As We Know It Now
Ominous.
Like the end of the world is upon us.
What does the series of world events of late - the civil wars in Egypt, Libya, and other neighboring countries; and the natural disasters in New Zealand and Japan - tell us? Is the end of the world near? There are so many prophecies cropping up now trying to insinuate that these events are actually precursors of the worst that is yet to come.
Could it be a series of trials that are given to us as a prerequisite to a greater deluge that is yet to happen? Even at the magnitude of damage and destruction that we have seen, could this be still a minute thing compared to what is going to happen in the near future? I know that in one way or another, we are all affected by what has happened in these countries.
We could have family and friends living or working in these countries.
And, who's to say we're that safe where we are right now? Maybe it's not yet our turn.
We have to remember that one event happening even in the remotest part of the world has a corresponding effect, albeit not felt immediately, in all other parts of the world.
It's world-changing and world-altering.
Take the case of the devastating aftermath of the Japan earthquake and tsunami: Google Earth has already showed satellite images that Japan's coastline has shifted by 8 feet! If this has moved, where else in the world has? As a family man, I could get so paranoid thinking about my family's future at the spate of things happening all around us.
Being far away from loved ones and not knowing where they are is the worst thing that could probably happen to me.
That would be the end of the world for me.
That's why when I chose to be an empowered online entrepreneur, the main goal was to spend as much time with my family while still earning a living.
Spending Quality Time With My Loved Ones Was My Ultimate Goal In Choosing To Be In A Business Where I Am Now.
I do not claim to be a very religious man but the things happening around us just make me realize that there's a greater power that has control over everything.
Relying on human power is not enough.
We need all the help we could get and we should probably be on our knees, heads bowed, and eyes closed - praying.
What do you think of the events happening in the world today?
