Recent happenings send the end-of-the-worlders into a frenzy. With this group, the more natural disasters, the louder they shrill. Leaders of this group try to match world events with their prognostications. These folks present "facts" to the gullible. Members of these groups follow along like goslings after their moms. Never mind the murky water.
People just do not think or reason. How many times has the end been near? These folks cite passages from the Bible. The end will be such and such a date. Funny how they have little to say when that date comes and goes right along with their credibility. The awful part of this? Some continue to believe. They set new dates for the end. Once again people cry and repent.
We go down paths hoping to find "the answer." Sometimes at the end of these trails we discover insurmountable walls, so we turn around to head down a new path. Some of us spend our whole life traveling these mazes trying to find something which has always been there.
Another group makes disinformation its mission. This group hit its stride with the recent presidential election. The roar becomes deafening. These leaders take the uninformed down the primrose path.
Maybe we do not teach children to think for themselves anymore. So we have raised a generation or two of lemmings. Not everyone fits into this mold. Some do think for themselves despite their environment. Many more cannot be bothered to think. Let Joe Blow decide for me.
Much of what naysayers proclaim becomes so much rant in the long run. The Internet propagates rumors like no other medium. We must learn to closely scrutinize every bit of information we receive.
Think people!
