The events of 2012

[9981]

I'm interested to see whether peoples opinions on the predictions of 2012 leaves them with a positive or negative impression. As always with predictions we are often left will images of doom and gloom, global scale battles and weather disasters of epic proportions. This is why i've only listed two options within the poll.

I hope this poll hasn't been done before, if it has i apologise.

I think the poll lacks one option "Nothing really amazing will happen".

Changes come gradually.
A bit drastic example but it ilustrates what I mean: a terrifying event such as the second world war couldn't just pop out of nowhere. Hitler had to look for followers, gain popularity and finally come to power. It took years to develop.

So the end of humanity in 2012 is just a fairy-tale to scare people, in my opinion.
The same goes for the birth of new era.
I'm sorry for criticising, but thinking by your own and being reasonable is more of a virtue to me than looking back at what prophets and ancient civilisations wrote down.

To me, the year 2012 is a symbol. A symbol of a new vision of humankind, more spiritual, more aware of the fact that science and spirituality are not separate. It mobilizes me to work and develop spiritually.

I'll take door number 2 please. 

With the LHC getting switched on later this year, at CERN, perhaps it's the start of a major paradigm shift.
