The World According to LaTaeya

                  The Apocalypse is an event that global society has been talking about since the dawn of time.  The early civilizations such as the Mayan and Incas created calendars, folklore and Myths centered around the potential events that will lead to the end of the world.  Christians and other religious institutions look to the Bible and other texts to learn about the concept and try to prepare themselves spiritually and physically.  Even scientists have gotten on board with the whole idea in attempts to warn the public through media outlets like shows broadcasted on channels like History, History International, Discovery,  Green, Biography, Science, and the infamous NatGeo.  Scientists are on the look out for any potential threats that could jeopardize mankind in the hopes of doing everything in their power to stop the inevitable from happening.  From Super Volcanos, to massive earthquakes, tsunami’s to disease, famine, global warming, and economic turmoil, the world is presently going through a series of devastating changes that one day could lead to the demise of this world and humanity as a whole.

                 Through the ages many people have come have gone, presenting themselves to society as prophets claiming to have the gift to see into the world’s future and the possible devastating events that will plague the earth and it’s population.  The most popular credible predictors of the future are Nostradamus from early France and the American Edgar Cayce.  Both impacted the world in such a way that many people today live by their life’s work.  As a Christian I believe in the prophets of Daniel and the book of Revelation.  I also believe in the work of Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce.  It is frightening to think that within a split second all of this could be over, Especially for those people like me who are just starting their lives out newly married, and are looking forward to a life of endless possibilities with children, travel and launching new careers.  We all deserve to live our lives in ways we see fit, to experience this world and everything it has to offer us. 

                With all of the warning signs out there, and December 21, 2012 practically around the corner what are you doing to prepare your self?  The most difficult part about that question is what are you preparing for?  Earthquake, catastrophic hurricane, asteroid impact, famine?  This list goes on and on.  How can you really be prepared for something like that?  Hundreds of Thousands and possibly millions of people have been stalk piling food, first aid kits, and other materials that they believe they will need the day the End is near.   Some people have even invested over hundreds of thousands  of dollors in hiring contractors to custom build underground bunkers and communities deep within the mountains of undisclosed locations.  Many of them do not realize that if a disaster at a major magnitude occurs they will not be so safe in the mountains.  Besides are people planning to stay in dark for ten years of longer?  No one really thinks of that.  It may take centuries for the world be able to support human life once again.   Most people prepare for up to five years of less.  If this Earth goes through something so devastating who’s to say that the Earth will be safe enough for those surviving humans to resurface again? ( Check out a great series called “Life after people”   it explains what happens to the world after humans has vanished from the Earth. ) What if you can not afford to purchase a bunker? I know I cant.  We can only do what our means allow us.  Is it the rich that has the chance to survive?  What about everyone else, the really good people who work hard to provide for their families and help members of society in effective ways?

              Some of you might think I have so much to say on this subject, and wonder am I prepared.  Well the answer is no.  I am in the process of preparing for something.  The list is made, now I just have to put my plans into action.  It still may not help but what ever I do I hope it will be effective.  Water, non perishable foods, first aid kits, medication, short wave radio, warm clothing, boots, in addition to an evacuation plan will be considered.  Large cities are areas that people must get out of.  Heading for the hills is the saying that applies here.  Do you believe that the government has something in effect to save certain people like the movie 2012 starring John Cusack?  I believe they do.  Normal Joe’s and Johanna’s will be lost in the devastation.  Tell me, How are you prepared for the Apocalypse?
