Apocalyptic Obsession BEDA

So I think it is safe to say we as a society are a little bit obsessed with the apocalypse. I mean who hasn't watched a movie or a tv show about it. If you say you haven't then you are a liar. So as an actual project at School Suck a Lot for English we had to write an apocalyptic plan and an essay about why people are so obsessed and what we think is the most likely end of days possibility.  Now I'm go through this backwards from how I did things. First of all most likely apocalypse? Really? I don't think that anyone can predict with statistics or logic what is the most likely. As a Christian, a term I use loosely, I believe that no one know the day or the hour of how we'll all end. And even more basic I don't care! Now I'd like to specify why I feel that way. One I don't care. I'm not in the 68% who fear death. It's coming to all of us eventually. Why waste life being afraid r worrying? Two, it doesn't matter. We can't change things and so instead of putting so much effort into figuring it out I have a better idea. Lets treat each other with human decency and be honest. Let's forgive others and apologize for our mistakes. Basically if the world ended right now you ought to be fine. Don't let the last thing you do be negative by being a better person. Now as for why I feel people are obsessed its probably a few things. One, it's an excuse to do crazy stupid stuff. Two, it earns certain people a lot of money. Three, if we know when it's all gonna end we'll be able to make things right by that time.  So for all the reasons above I had a tough time with this project, but I did learn something about myself and the world. People are afraid of the end. I don't want to be afraid, I want to be satisfied if it comes because life is too short.  May life be as awesome as you are and DFTBA!
