Hey - great thread.
I didn't really start posting on ATS until a long time after my join date.
Whenever I see threads and posts more along the lines of people "wanting" the world to end, or "wanting" the economy to crash - I call them
out.
Why the HELL do some of you want this I ask? It is almost that they have failed their own life, and want everyone else to follow in their pitiful
footsteps.
My words are harsh but it is my opinion so meh.
Life is great. Downers are not.
It is easy to talk about negative stories in a positive light, without bringing an aura of depression.
Some advice for you. When you see negative posts, just label the poster as a crazy idiot and ignore them.
Why? Well, 99% of the time, it doesn't matter if they are right. Some things are not in our hands (asteroids, economic issues), so I see no point
in bringing everyone down in times of UNCERTAINTY.
Some see the glass as half full and some see it as half empty.
In the end, it is the same thing. Except on side is happy and one side is sad, depressed, and just plain annoying.
There are people who "get off" on the idea of Armageddon, economic depression, and many horrible things. They need to be slapped in the face.
Now, I would personally love to witness the end of the world - but would NEVER want to bring that horror upon everyone.
edit - One more thing about your "prayer" comment.
Just like in the move "The Dark Knight"...you create your own luck. While "faith" isn't the word I am looking for, confidence is. Same thing I
suppose.
