The Doomsday Conspiracy

One fine evening, really fine because the next day was a holiday at school and I don’t have to finish the “n” homework I should have completed otherwise, I was busy being jobless. That was when I got this message from a class mate of mine. That really interested fellow sent a message that asked me to go watch history channel right away for a documentary on doomsday. Hmmm interesting! As a person who basically loves mystery and learning more about the most mysterious and ambiguous things on earth, that message was heavenly! And the next thing I know, I am there in the living room watching that documentary.

 

It was a great documentary basically! The next time they air it and you come to know of it, people I am telling you it is a must watch! It was about time obsessed ethnic people of present day Mexico, the Mayans. And thanks to the Spanish people who first invaded their land, their scriptures aren’t completely in our hands. But with just what we do have it is quite obvious, after years and years of study, that doomsday is the infamous 12 December 2012. And you should know, those Mayans were a lot, a LOT, obsessed with time. So much so that their famous Chechen Itza, is actually an elaborate existing proof for the very fact of it (sorry guys… I can’t really explain it. I missed some 5 minutes of the showL).  So, many modern day humans believe the fact that doomsday is right at our door step (I am telling you, I can’t wait to see the looks of all these 24*7 news channels on December 11 2012!). And did I forget to mention the importance of this day? It has 2 really rare and wonderful cosmological happenings that just amazes man for the mere happening of it. The sun, on that day, aligns itself to the exact galactic center of the Milky Way galaxy and the earth completes the wobble around its axis. The thing is that these two happen once in 26000 years! Now that’s a long time!

 

So, after seeing this documentary and completely admiring the pains taking of the archeologists iconologists and other professionals involved in the de-coding of the Mayan scriptures, I was left to myself to answer one question for myself, “does this doomsday thing really exist?” and before any of you guys out there to just kill the others with their “mokkais” open their mouths to say that day exists but I don’t really know if its doomsday or not, let me tell you one thing the question lurking in my mind is if that existing day is doomsday or not. And as my usual self, I sat down to think instead of wasting time in the net googling for stuff I could have gone without knowing. And by the way, I think the verb “google” should become part of the English language, what say? Yeah so my long minutes of thinking has resulted in an answer I am so amazed of myself, ok I am not amazed at it but at the way I have spent so much time without googling! I think the doomsday conspiracy is utter bluff. The Mayans lived centuries ago and they deceived from existence a long back themselves. And why should man, as of now the greatest being on earth, believe statements of people like the Mayans.

 

Maybe I am wrong at this decision. But then no one can tell me so until they say that it is a fact and not an assumption of theirs. And that can be proved only when their so-called “doomsday” arrives. After which, no one would exist to tell me that I was all wrong and that doomsday did actually exist. But I wanted to give my opinion on something as important as this being a responsible resident of earth myself. So people the thing I learned today is some things are best left a mystery the more you try to prove your point in it, the more a relationship of yours could end in a disaster. And why? Because my recent conversations on the existence of God almost had a friendship of mine go down the drain. Doesn’t really matter now because we are good friends as of now, and hopefully forever. I also discovered that it is these little insignificant fights between friends that make you closer and closer and closer…..

 

So the ambiguity of anything that exists on this earth will pull the interest of one soul who badly wants all things to have a very logical reason, excluding a few stuff which are a mystery to me and that includes the mystery of this mystery. And here I am writing this blog that is so important for me to express my mind straight out to one person who just have to understand that our friendship stands on a thin rope but is not far from a bed of fur! And so our friendship rocks! And I really think I should go google about little countries that really matter to my general knowledge, my dear google awaits me so…

Until next post,

Yours,
