December 21st, 2012 – The End of the World

This Friday is December 21st, 2012 supposedly the end of the world.  Why do people believe this? Well because the Mayan calendar ends on this day and people think this means the world is going to end on this date.  Why would they believe this? Because the Mayan calendar was very accurate considering the fact that is was created thousands of years ago. Many people seem to believe this is legit and that the Earth will explode because the Earth will perfectly align with the Sun (doesn't this happen every Winter Solstice?). There has even been a movie made of this supposed event.

                Personally, I do not believe the world is going to end.  Just because the Mayan Calendar ends on this day does not mean the world is going to end.  Who knows, maybe they ran out of space.  Or perhaps they were never able to finish the entire calendar because their civilization was almost completely destroyed and taken over.  What do you think? Do you think the world is going to end? Anyways I believe you should live life to the fullest every day because who knows what the future will bring you.

    I agree. People seem to forget that the Maya were humans too. Maybe they got lazy. Maybe they didn't have enough space.Does everything have to have a reason?!
