Well, the world’s not actually going to end in 2012. It’d be hard to even wipe all 7 billion of us off the planet, frankly. The odds of some people surviving are just enormously high. Plus, it’s a big, old planet. Even if we die, the bugs will eat our bones and never miss us.
I think, frankly, it’s the thought of that we can’t stomach–that we’ve done all this and, if we vanished tomorrow, it wouldn’t matter.
Ha, this is why we must work to ensure the survival of something that can tell stories (I’m working on crows. I hope others of you are working on octopuses.), so at least we can be the scary spirits that lived in the rocks.
Well, shoot, that was depressing.
2012. Let’s hope it’s a good one.
