Something that's been bothering me since all this started.

Posted by CIEIRMusic - March 23rd, 2022


I know not everyone here, on the net or god forbid the real world outside, is religious, hell I'm Pagan/Wiccan and this baffled me at first. However I can't deny it any longer. Over the years I've spat in the face of anyone who would ever mention this, so what I am about to say may come across as hypocritical. However it needs to be said.


There have been many many times since before even my own lifetime, that people have talked about The End of The World in various ways. Y2K and the Mayan Calendar way being the most prominent.


However even when people were in a gross panic about it, I always laughed it off, because I've been through many of these days and so far aside from some changes to what was considered the Status Quo as well as some environmental damage, nothing really came to an abrupt end.


However ever since the 2020s first started, we've encountered problems that put us on the brink. However, what if these problems, while bad were the fucking signs?


  1. You have the Covid-19 Pandemic. Which is Pestilence.
  2. The impact caused by Covid-19 and The Ukraine-Russian Conflict has caused inflation to skyrocket all over the world. Costing everyone around it more money just to eat let alone, fucking live. So famine.
  3. The Ukraine-Russia Conflict, causing everyone on all sides to be up in arms and prepare for at best Cold War 2 and at worst World War III. So War.
  4. And everyone is dying from it as the result of the 3 above. So Death.


For those that don't know what I'm talking about. I'm referring to the Four Horseman of the Apocolypse. Each Horseman representing an aspect of the world that may cripple or kill it one day, but if all 4 are at play, then needless to say as a whole, the world is fucked. That's right. I wholeheartedly believe that this may be the End of The World as we know it.


Now before some of you panic and others start going at me claiming "You're crazy." hear me out on this. Despite the depressing nature of what I just said, there is actually a bit of optimism too. Many stories, from the Bible to the Torah, have often had their own interpretation of the End of The World. I even once wanted to make it a hobby to collect religious texts from all religions to see what would differ from one and other and what would be the same. Including but not limited to their interpretations of it. However I couldn't do so, because the text itself is expensive as Hell. I'm not kidding. The entire Roman Ritual Trilogy is over $100. And that's just covering a small fraction of Catholicism.


However, the main realization is this. The one thing they all have in common, is that they only tell how they think the world will end. Not once saying what happens after. Now I know what you're thinking. "No shit, because it's over after. There's nothing left." Hahaha, fuck you. Notice what they said specifically. The end of The World. As in our world as in Planet Earth. They never said the universe. Granted so far it's because we seem to be the only life out there that can walk and talk. However, I think there's more than that. I remember once talking to a Jehova's Witness, years back and he once told me that the End of The World doesn't necessarily mean, that everyone dies or gets raptured or anything like that. But rather the end of modern civilization as we know it. throughout the past Millenium, regardless of how much we advanced technologically, no matter how many times we changed what was considered the status quo at the time and god forbid what no matter what we do to reduce our carbon footprint, we never really changed as a civilization at all. We still believe that cash is the way to stay alive, we still have an unequal society due to both bigotry and certain slacktivists who prefer to keep the fight going because should they win, they'd have no purpose in life anymore and to top it off, we still strive to one-up each other. No matter how much people say the world has changed, that times have changed and that we are better off than what we were before, I don't believe it, because as a wise anti-hero once said "The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same."


What if what we thought the End of The World is gonna be, is merely just a huge change that we're not all ready for?

A change that will cost a lot of pain, suffering and most importantly lives, but in the end regardless of how bad it is now, things are gonna get better afterwards for the world and the human race as a whole. Maybe this is God or Nature or The Planet telling us "You guys have been pushing me around in an attempt to push each other around and I'm sick of it. Either stop everything your doing and get your act together, or I'll fucking kill you right now." I'm not kidding. Because throughout the past 2 years, natural disasters have begun to be more frequent. Floods, Tornadoes, Earthquakes, Forest Fires. If there was any sort of proof that the planet is not only sentient, but pissed off at us right now, this is it.


But hey, I could be wrong. Even if I'm right though, this message will most likely be ignored anyway, because despite us claiming to want change or want to change, we never did, because we thought it would strip us of our individual rights as human beings. That's a bunch of bullshit. The fact of the matter is the rich are used to being on top that the money that could have helped the rest of the world is just being spent on another section of their city sized mansions. The poor are so used to people giving them hand-outs that any leg up would always be rejected under the excuse of pride. They'd rather die poor, than live without a voice anymore. As for everyone in the middle, we are so used to being convinced that if we didn't keep working we'd either die poor or not get as big as the rich people.


Point being is that the reason why this world is ending is because of us. WE ARE THE ONE'S RUINING IT!!! We let the virus spread. We let Putin push Ukraine around until it became unbearable to watch. We waste our time trying to pass the problem on to someone else, but when all the passovers happen, there is no one else but you.


We have the power to destroy this world, so naturally we have the power to save it. SO SAVE IT!!! Change right now or else the end of the world really will be the end of the fucking world.

I absolutely agree with your opinion! That has been something that have been going through my mind too. It's been really hard for those years and hopefully it will get better soon. I can't promise anything though. Those past years have been rough and even this year. Hopefully one day people will just step up and fix it. Every year, everything happens in a precipitous way unfortunately. People's actions dealing with this situation is unreal against the real disastrous fallout on earth planet.

I feel you man, I'm just overwhelmed by it all. How can I as one individual make a difference is my main concern. If I can figure out an answer to that, I can move forward. Until then, I find myself reluctant to wheel out my soap box, if I can't bring any solutions to the table.

Regardless of what others say otherwise. It's individuals that can make a difference. The main problem is not just how, but why. Specifically "Why should we when someone else can?" For the past 1000 years we've literally been coddled our whole lives. Conditioned to believe that we shouldn't have to do anything, conditioned to believe we shouldn't fight for ourselves and others and conditioned to believe that we need certain things to survive and only others can provide that for us. As a result we became lazy, dependent and cowardice. We lost our teeth, our balls/overies and our will because we didn't think we need it. Now that the shit really hit the fan in the worst possible way and we can't do anything. Why? Because we didn't think we needed to at the time. I myself have beem guilty of that. Not anymore.

@CIEIRMusic what's your personal approach to taking action? Genuinely looking for advice or inspiration. Things I can do in my everyday life.

Well for me to know that I'd have to know your every day life first. DM me on that one.

@CIEIRMusic just about to head to work, but I'll hit you up in a dm in the next day or 2.

Ok.

Honestly I noticed the famine situation starting earlier in America before the Russia v. Ukraine war that's happening right now. I cannot guarantee that war will trigger a chain of events that would start WWIII or even Cold War 2, but I'm crossing my fingers hoping it doesn't. I also heard that the pandemic will end by next year but the virus will live in the human bodies forever now, even the vaccinated people. And yeah, death is now a common occurrence, both natural and unnatural, our society is failing so low.

With me I noticed it initially in Canada. The B.C. Flood along with a few other events messed with the transports required to deliver food all over the country. Stretching from B.C. To Ontario and beyond. As a result to make up for the damage these events caused, Inflation was aggressively increased to the point where what would have been a $2.99 pack of Hotdogs now costs $7. Basically robbing people of their food and their right to buy it cheaply.

However I didn't notice anything major until the Russia/Ukraine thing happened. It's one thing to take food away. It's another to take away the means of one making money to get the food. I don't know if you noticed, but a lot of people with jobs be it blue collar or white collar need cars to get where they're going. A lot of us the past 200 years have been conditioned to believe that Fossil Fuels is the way to go and that any renewable or less toxic source of energy would not be as effective. So naturally when you declare war on a country whom before was one of your main imports of oil and you cut yourself from them, needless to say your country is fucked because as a result of being limited to the resources you have at home, they become more expensive. Gasoline in Canada is already nearly $2 a Litre. Just recently Ontario paid $5 Billion Dollars in a first ever battery plant for electric vehicle. While I should be happy, I am very pissed because it took them long to acknowledge that this could have saved their skin a lot over the past 200 years and it would have 100 years ago reduced the Carbon Footprint on our side. Among other things. We all literally had this tech the whole time and we waited until things were at their very worst to do it. It sickens me.
