End Times

No one can claim originality when speaking on this subject. No one can pretend to be unique when touching it. No matter how intellectual words he uses, how vast knowledge he has, or whichever angle he wants to approach at it from. Coz the theme of “End Times” has been dealt with, talked about, investigated over… from scores and scores of people. From simple people to Kings. From agnostics to preachers. From uneducated folks to scholars and scientists. In fact just about every aspect of it, has been thoroughly investigated and examined.

If they* could take “time” into a lab, for study and examination, they would have done it, believe me. If they could arrest “time” and interrogate him and get the truth out of him, oh they would have done it too! Now if they could stop “time” and get him out of the way and evaporate him, oh they would have done it long long ago!

But time is unstoppable. And we cannot do anything about it. Nothing we can do to stretch it, compress it, or even delay it. All we can do is… go with the time… flow with the time… and change with the times.

Oh yeah! How we need to change with the times! All of us. We all need to change… and correct our mistakes… correct our behaviour… correct ourselves! None of us is perfect and none of us knows it all. That’s why we need to change… search more… and learn more… understand more… and make more mature decisions! Coz we all have to review our ideas from time to time. Learn to adopt new evidence and new findings to our “Inner Encyclopaedia”. We need to learn to add new knowledge and new light to our “View of Life”. And once we do that, we will have a much broader view of the world around us… and the meaning of life… and the timetable we’re living in!

Coz times are changing constantly. Nothing remains the same around us. Things today are so much different from what we remember them to be. From the time we were little children. So much different now. Long gone are the peaceful days. The times we had nothing to worry about. Nothing to care for. In fact everything around us seems to be collapsing in a way.

Starting from LOVE. Our girlfriend or boyfriend is ready to walk off with the first person flirting with them. Our wife or husband is… mmm… at least suspicious in their moves. Half the marriages we know ended in divorce. And the other half? Well some have separate bedrooms. Some are already sleeping around. Or even have formal “lovers”. While some have decided they don’t want us no more coz… …they’re attracted to the same sex! And these are only… everyday situations. Cases we meet and hear about day by day. Let alone the extreme situations. The cases we cannot even discuss here because of their “obscene” material. Plus this… plus that… and that… …

Let’s move on to FRIENDS. Friendship in general. Long gone are the days when we had real friends around us. Today we hang around with a couple of people coz we… hear the same music. Or we go to the same club. But what will happen tomorrow? If I stop listening to THEIR kind of music? They’ll probably walk away! Or what if I stop going to their club? Most probably I’ll never see them again! What about those who are around us as long as we pay for their drinks, or for their food at the restaurant? What happens if my money runs out? Or if I lose my job? Those around us because we have this brand new Porsche? Where will they be when my car is smashed? Will they pay for repairs? Will anybody care if I lose my job, my car, my house, my all? Or will I be wondering why I’m all alone all of a sudden? My friends today are my friends if… I wear the same clothes as they do… buy the brands they buy… support the band they support… belong to the political party they belong… make as much money as they make… believe the same lies they believe… etc… etc… etc… And they are all ready to desert me if I stop doing what they do, if I stop giving them what I’m expected to. Whatever that might be! Let’s face it. Most of today’s friendships are only casual and last for a little while. Real and lasting friendships are so scarce. They only come about once in a while. In very extreme and rare cases. Or we read about them in books! Sometimes watch an epic friendship in… a movie.

How about FAMILY? I think it’s gonna take me ages to analyze and discuss what’s happening with today’s relationships within the family. The mother and daughter “connection”. The father and son “distance”. The brother and sister “division”. Let alone the “generational gap”. The hatred within family members sometimes. Do I need to present facts on how many so called “parents” today, are nothing more than child molesters? And rapists? Rapists of their own blood? Rapists of their step children? Or rapists of the little angels they have been trusted to protect?  Of course I am not saying that this is always the case. There surely ARE some families out there, with healthy relationships and descent ties. But they’re just… a little bit hard to find. They’re becoming “collectors items” nowadays!

Do I need to mention the “disappearing” ethics of our times? The overexposure of the human body in the streets? Or the ever growing nakedness in the media… on most advertisements… on the screen? What about the amateur strip shows of the girls in clubs… after they’ve had a few drinks? Or after some “good guy” introduced them to this and that substance! And they got high! While they’ll soon go so low!! Next thing you know is see them girls pushed into prostitution! Against their will. Without their consent.
