The End is Nigh!

This Whole Rapture Thing

                It amazes me that there are people who pray daily for the coming of the end of the world, and I cannot say that I understand that sentiment. The world is full of new experiences to be had and new chances to take. There are a myriad of people to meet. There are friends and enemies to make. The path’s only end is at the end of one’s life. What happens after? I don’t really think anyone knows.

                My question is, why should we care?

                I want to embrace life day by day, and not look to what happens after it ends. I want to live my life trying to be the best person that I can be. I want to do this because it makes me feel good and I like to be someone that I can be proud of, and that my loved ones can be proud of, not because some invisible being told me to with the threat of hell hanging over my head. Fuck that.

                I just wish that everyone could do the same, and quit praying for the end, because the end will come, and like everyone who has died before you and me, each person will face it, ultimately, alone. When you look back on what you’ve done with your life, will you feel pride and contentment? Or will you see a wasted life, praying for oblivion?
