Single & Facing Doomsday

 



21st December 2012.
Mayan’s prophecy of the end of the world. I don’t think it is the end of the world, but more like the end of an Age cycle. Read more here.

But, in my certain morbid way, let’s just say it was true and a giant comet is on it’s way to collide with Earth. It then poses a serious question: When it happen, who you want to be with? Is it better to face it being single and alone? I think it is a blessing to face it as a single. I THINK. Let’s talk about this more…

Let’s put on a Couple scenario:
You and your lover/spouse heard the news on the radio. Fear and panic arises. Both of you hugged & kissed to console each other. Then realization came – “When it happens, I want to be with my family and people I love & care”. Okay now, you love & care for each other, so both should be together when it happen. Ofcourse. But each of you wanted to be with your parents too. So its either you split or try to get everyone (both sides) together. Which is not very logistically realistic. Because your other siblings AND their spouses also wanted to bring everyone under the same roof.

So everyone decided to split or stay – a very hard decision to make. A decision which invariably would left someone not having their wish to be with important people they’d end their life with. Mothers to daughters for example.

Now, a Single scenario:
Heard the news, panicked, scared shitless, and probably broke down in tears thinking of your miserably lonely life will end soon – which probably arguably better, in a sense. After recovery, you’d pack your bag and went back to your parent’s home.

But then again, along the journey back home, you’d think “isn’t it nice to have somebody to share my fears, loneliness, hopes & dreams?” While everything go up in flame and blinding light, isn’t it nice to gaze upon a face that kisses you for the Love shared? A face that says “I’m glad I shared my Life with you”.

Damn it… I think the Single ones are more fucked up now. Oh well, luckily there is (less than) a month to find yourself somebody.

And hopefully fall in love.
