World - Fashion and Cosmetic Industry

Good morning, dearest!

I have been really concerned with this cause over the past weeks
Along with this one...I am an e-activist for some time already for Greenpeace
And PETA. Not part of them but I am openly, their supporter.

Again, as in many other topics, it all starts in us.
We can all make the choice to buy our products somewhere else.

We all can know 
And search for the ultimate truth...

a ) ...On what is happening in the research labs, 
The tests that are ocurring and being made to animals.

b) Of what we are consuming...
(Where did that piece of meat actually came from?)

c) On how that fur coat / vest was made...
and how many deaths were needed,
how many animals were involved
"Just" to produce that "statement piece"!

NOTE : The links to images related to the theme can be found on some words. Viewers discretion is adviced 
Since the content can prove to be shocking.

I would rather call it a trend alert... (not in a flattering way...)
If you only knew that THIS is behind that pretty fur coat / vest 
You would think twice before purchasing one.

As for point a ) ...
Articles : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_testing
              http://www.fightinganimaltesting.com/

Images : this, this, THIS, THIS and THIS...

...Are just tiny parts of what is happening.
It might have been a step for some brands/companies to have ceased animal testing
BUT, we need to do more.

We need to reach out and contact the ones who are responsible
For conducting such tests.

We need to let brands and let that vicious system know that WE,
As consumers, have a voice.
And that we CAN choose to not buy their products,
Whilst their atitudes don't change. We need to be active!
We need to love our pets and animals (as if they were our own).

d) Now that you know part of this reality...
I am writing for you to...

Stand up and make your own choices.

It is up to you!

It is up to me!

It is up to us to make this World 
(Instead of somewhere we strive to survive...)
A better place to live at.


Update : 
We would like to share to you that
On the 11th of March, the European Union
Is going to forbid animal testing in the cosmetic industry !
Great news, isn't it??

School - Bullying Events

Good evening, my readers ;

After taking some time out to read and learn,
I have been thinking about some major events that happened during my teenage days:
Bullying, that is.
Specifically, through middle and high school and even, after that.

I decided to share with you some major events of my own life.
Note : I do not know if the ones I will write about in this post will ever come across this,
Yet, I will give it a shot.

I have had ups and downs through out my life.


Middle School :

Situation ONE 

There was a boy called Wilson.

He was suspended and out of school at the time.

I was inside of the school and he was off the of the limits of it.

He started to make fun of me (the same old names).

I stood still at first, and stared at him.

Then I walked closer towards him.

There was a big wall and a metal bars (grids?) separating both.

We started talking. I gave advise to him, in order for him to study somewhere else.

He thanked me and told me that "I was a good person, overall".

Situation TWO

(Years later) 

A group of three boys would torment me during the school time break.

(The same that on 9th grade insulted and nearly beaten me 

at a bus stop while waiting for the same bus as them)

After the conversation their teacher had with them...

Days later , they appologized to me. 

High School :

Situation THREE

Another Physical Ed. Class. 

I think it was that or I was made fun at, at the time.

I was sitting and crying on the bus.

This old lady hugged and told me "everything was going to be alright".

I didn't know her and she didn't knew me.

It meant the world to me and I will never forget that.

Situation FOUR

When I gained courage to enter a poetry contest.

My classmates knew about it, eventually.

They supported me and started to gain interest about my work, my writings.

The final result on the contest was first place and three books as an award.

Out of School :

Situation FIVE

At a Part Time Job.

I was leaving the building and heading towards the bus stop.

There, I found one of the persons that had made fun of me in the past.

He was completly diferent and happy to know that I had a job at the time.

With this , I want to bring a message of Hope to you

And guarantee that: 

" No matter how cloudy and stormy your day, your life is

That there will be better mornings and better moments ".

Respectfully.

​World - An Open Letter to PETA

Dearest,

I would like to share, today, the letter I sent to PETA on the past 20th January :

To PETA Organization, The PETA team and to whoever it may concern,

Good afternoon.

May I be known as Life, eventhough that is not my real name.

I was , shall we not say exactly a follower, but curious about your function in society and to the world. 

This is my first question regarding this Company. 

I am speaking not only on my own behalf but also seeking an honest answer, 

Probably as a considerable number of people in the World.

We all aim for the Truth and nothing more than that.

Does or does not this company euthanize animals? If so, why?

How do you actually help animals ?

Regards.

~ Life 

Admin of Life Blog.

Later on, the reply from PETA Staff : 

Dear Life,

Thank you for contacting PETA about euthanasia and our work 

to end the companion animal homelessness crisis. 

We are glad that you care.

and why we offer a euthanasia service, please visit the following links:

·        http://www.PETA.org/b/thepetafiles/archive/2010/02/12/placing-the-blame-where-it-belongs.aspx

PETA is on the front lines in the battle against animal homelessness. 

Our field workers are on duty around the clock, and our emergency pager is always on. 

During hurricanes, snowstorms, heat waves, and cold snaps, 
we are out helping cats stuck in tree tops and drainage ditches, ducklings stranded in sewer pipes, 
and dogs left to die at the end of a chain —any animal who needs help, anytime and anywhere. 

Some of the animals we take in are lost companion animals
—we eventually reunite them with grateful guardians, while others are taken 
to local agencies where they will have a chance to be adopted. 

PETA helps guardians keep their animal companions by offering counseling tips, 

helping to find animal-friendly housing, and assisting in providing humane care. 

We do not run a traditional adoption facility; 

PETA is a shelter of last resort—the vast majority of the animals we accept are taken in specifically for euthanasia.We take responsibility for the animals nobody wants—the sick, the scarred and broken, the elderly, the aggressive and unsocialized, and the perfectly healthy ones who are thrown away like last year’s fad toy. 

We do everything in our power to help these animals. 

We treat their injuries if we can, we feed them, we love them with all our hearts, 

and we give them a safe place to rest, if that’s what they need. 

Sometimes they need the comfort of being put out of their misery—a painless release from a world in which they were abused and unwanted.

PETA is not alone in this work: Millions of homeless animals are euthanized in animal shelters and veterinary offices across America because of simple math: too many animals, not enough suitable homes. 

As many as 8 million animals flood U.S. animal shelters annually, and half must be euthanized. 

Even if those 8 million animals could be placed with loving families, 

there would be 8 million more the next year, and the year after that.

The answer lies in prevention. 

We must stop irresponsible guardians, backyard breeders, and puppy-millers who churn out litters without a thought as to where these helpless animals will go. 

PETA runs three mobile spay-and-neuter clinics, serving low-income residents in Virginia and North Carolina. 

The clinics offer free and low-cost sterilization surgeries as well as other services, such as flea and tick treatments, vaccinations, and deworming. 

Since starting our first mobile clinic in 2001, we have sterilized more than 87,000 animals, 

including more than 9,200 in the 2012 fiscal year alone.

You can help: 

Please go to https://secure.PETA.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=2875 

to send a letter to your state’s governor asking him or her to make spaying and neutering mandatory statewide. Not only do they save lives, mandatory spay-and-neuter laws also make good fiscal sense: 

Taxpayers pay approximately $2 billion to house, 

euthanize, and dispose of unwanted dogs, cats, and other animals in the U.S. each year.

Finally, please know that a lot of the misleading and outright false rumors that are spread concerning our efforts are the work of the deceitfully named “Center for Consumer Freedom” (CCF), a front group for Philip Morris, Outback Steakhouse, KFC, cattle ranchers, and other animal exploiters who kill millions of animals every year—not out of compassion, but out of greed. To learn more about CCF—whose website USA Today said should be renamed “FatforProfit.com”—

We hope that this message has shed some light on our work.

Thanks again for writing and for your compassion for animals.

Sincerely,

The PETA Staff

http://www.PETA.org

Concluding, I decided to show you this letter, despite of the time that has passed;

The reason why is because I would like to share this with you 

In order to know your opinion on the matter... 

And bring awareness to the following situations :

a) The need to adopt animals whether it is a cat or dog.

b) The importance of being a volunteer.

c) Euthanasia

d) Mostly, how important is to take care of our pets.

Personally I have three cats. Love them to bits.
Their shelter is our house. They stay in the house, during the Winter
And during the Summer, (only sometimes) they stay at the balcony

Note : It has space, it is not too cold nor too warm , just mild temperature
And they have their own house, as well.
They were not adopted, but found
And welcomed with loving arms.
Each one with their own story and past.

Basically, 
We can all do something for these wonderful beings.

NOTE : I do not enjoy animal suffering, in any form.
On which I am against animal cruelty and any experiments.
My opinion does divide between being against Euthanasia or not , though.

Does any animal deserve to suffer?

And finally, does any animal deserve to have their life taken away?

Life´s Advice - Aiming for Causes

Good morning, my readers.

For tueday's topic, I chose one particular subject
On which I have been dedicating myself to.
We all can make a diference.

My advices to feel weightless and help others as well (and yourself)

1. We cannot feel sorry for ourselves nor feel "pity". 
It is the worst thing we can do for ourselves. 

2. If we give out optimistic, positive atitudes
And show LOVE in our actions, we can and will make a diference !
(The mirror effect I spoke about, some posts before).


3. Before you dedicate yourself  to embrace causes
You need to cleanse yourself as a first step...
I shall leave a link, here is one as an example :

Aura Cleansing

Because we need to let go of everything that has caused us 
And still causes us harm.
People. Situations. Circunstances. Regrets. Ressentment.
Bitterness.

I may even reach this subject a lot, often. 
But I insist on such as it is a very important point and lesson to learn.
The sooner you do so, the sooner you will open your heart 
To new experiences and to your personal and inner renovation.

4. Another mistake people make is to put the blame exclusively on others.
That is wrong. You will be feeding a monster within you, 
Eventhough it may look easier, at first sight...

We must learn to forgive and let go... The fault may be ours as well, due to keeping our same old habits.
How will we expect to change, if everything else remains the same?

5. After cleansing,
Which Cause will you support?

Environment and Animals :

You can start by becoming an e-activist at websites like Greenpeace, PETA or HSI.
I searched for the website in English, yet, 
I believe PETA or Greenpeace have representatives in some countries.

Note - *If you have possessions, you can donate.
However, make sure to read and search about the companies before doing so*.

You can become a volunteer at your local animal shelter or support local causes.

People such as Elderly, Children ... 

You can click every day, for free.
The Hunger Site

If you have a social network site, you can "Like" We Day.
They give out one dollar per like.


You can: 

- Become a volunteer at a Hospital, Daycare or Firefighters.

- Help your local library ;

- Write articles for the school Newspaper 

- Join your school theatre group.

- Start a petition or sign a petition ;

- Organize debates or events ;

- If you have a social network site, you can "Like" We Day.
They give out one dollar per like.



Depending of your personality, 

You have plenty of causes you can join !

Will you make part ?

World - Animal Cruelty

Good afternoon, everyone.
I was to write, some time ago, this post.

However, I thought about learning and study more about
This subject at hand, which some may disagree, about.

But we need to be aware and look around us.
Do you have a pet? (for example a guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, ...)
Look into its eyes. 
What can you see? What could you see? What could you read?
Could you ever hurt him/her or harm her?

If your answer was "no", then please think twice.
Many animals are hurt, harmed and even killed in animal testings

Starting of by them being closed being bars.
Some go through almost hell and are submitted to severe conditions.
(I shall spare the readers or followers from images as they are quite shocking...
However, I posted some videos below which can and might be shocking
As well, so, again , viewers discretion is adviced.

SO I ASK : Do they deserve this?

PETA stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

I shall leave a video about PETA's work in the Year of 2012.
Eventhough I am not physically present, I deeply respect, support and admire
the work and cause of this Association.


So... here it is PETA's work in the Year of 2012 :




And below, there is a second video about "60 seconds...Farming Factory"
Found in this article : PETA Archive - Why are these people crying

NOTE !
VIEWERS DISCRETION IS ADVICED...!



Please think about them too...
(In another post I shall approach the Cosmetic Industry
And other Brands on this matter).

NOTE : I do respect whether people eat or not meat.
It is their choice, their lifestype, their options, overall.
Yet we have to STOP! the unnecessary violence and cruelty
That exists and that is happening at slaughterhouses.
After all, animals cannot communicate the same way as we can
Nor defend themselves.

So someone out there must do so for them.
Please spread the word, if you can.

Official Website of PETA is Peta.org .

NOTE : I shall write more about this subject in other posts.


Peace be with you...

Life´s Advice - Gratitude

A blessed weekend to everyone out there!
Being Grateful.
I chose this topic
As it is a subject very related to me

And , personally,
I believe we may go through this
At a certain in our lives,

We either learn or not to be grateful 
We either choose or not to practice 
Gratitude In OUR lives. 

Practicing gratitude in... 
Each and everytime you breathe a gasp of air... 

Each time you wake up in the morning, 

Each time you are alive, 

Each time you have health (even if it is a little bit) 

To carry through the day, 

Each time you have food on the table, 

Each time you have a place to sleep, 

Each time you have someone to love, 

(Whether is a family member, your better half or good friends) 

So... Practice Gratitude, as many times as you can,
Every day and even when you feel upset or sad.
It is not about what you wish to have or about what you want to have and don't have

It is about what you already have 
Even the slightest, most simple things 
AND TO BE THANKFUL FOR THEM. 
Blessed be*

World - Spent Game

Good afternoon , dearest readers.

During common holidays, I took some time to read and see many interesting articles

And also, think about my own experiences a bit now and then.

I saw this game called "Spent",

Which reflects the reality of (maybe) several families in America.

The chalenge for today is getting through the month.

It is meant to create awareness regarding Poverty and Unemployement.

Can you do it?

World - Shooting in Newtown

Good afternoon , dear readers...

Today (and these last days) I have been thinking through.
Which is why I sincerely took some time for myself...
And then, to write this post.

I have to ask : 
What leads someone (to carry and) shoot a gun
Towards his own mother, 20 innocent children, 5 teachers,
Then, put an end to his own life??

This tragedy occured in Newtown, USA in 14th of December
At Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Even thought this happened, it must carry a lesson.
It MUST say something to people... that something IS WRONG!
People must act and react in order to prevent these type of tragedies.
WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
Not only about School Shootings...

But also about murders, accidents, terrorism, trageries DONE by human hand
Blood spilled, precious lives lost
ALL DONE by human hands...

WHY??

Rest in Peace, little angels.

We must start acting for a change now, today...

World - Secret of Oz

Good evening, everyone !
Yesterday I went to a really important job interview
And I met some people along with the recruitment process.
She was really nice and we talked about Polithics.
"Secret of Oz" was something she adviced me to see.

So , here I am leaving you this documentary
(It is about two hours long)
Regarding the World Economics Crisis :

Secret of Oz

P.S. If you are into Investigation and Social related issues and causes
I would advice you to also check this documentary :

New World Order, Invisible Empire

Have a great week *

World - Haiti and Causes

Good evening, fellow readers.
Here in Life Blog,
We not only want to bring awareness about one's diseases or disorders

Yet, we also aim to alert everyone
Each and every conscience, ONE BY ONE
To important (not to say essential) Humanitarian causes!

We have to open our eyes to these type of situations
Such as Natural Disasters, Poverty and Disease.
Awakening begins in each one of us.
It begins in you, it starts in me.
It starts in each one, everyone!

Just the game/experience itself can bring the person
(Maybe) to a close reality of what may have happened
in Haiti (Port-au-Prince) in the year of 2010.

Haiti - Inside Disaster

This experience is more or less how it happened
You can take the role of either a Survivor,
Team Aid Worker or a Journalist on the Scene.

In that game you can establish dialogues
and make choices as if you were actually there.
It looks pretty realistic so...
I would advice people discretion while playing it
(The own website has warnings regarding those)

In my own views and Perspective, it also carries an important lesson along :

To SEE as if you were there.
To Be aware of others suffering.
To NOT look in one's own bellybutton
BUT to look in a wider scale and look upon others
Specially in their times of need.

" Because you will never know...
One day it can be someone you do not know
One day it can be one fellow brother or sister
In distress. Yet, one day it can be you
Or someone you held close to your heart...
So, please, help while you can
And serve others while you live! "

-- By Life

God bless you all!

World - New World Order

This is a rather delicate subject on which many users on Youtube went inactive upon. 
Were they no longer posting due to busy lives 
Or Were they forbiden to? 


Wondering why...
OR Is censorship still active in many countries?


I am not sure, yet some things get really suspicious.
Some things ARE suspicious.
And hereby, I am entitled to my own opinion
On which you aren't forced to follow...


Therefore you can, as well, in the end, 
Take your own conclusions and make your own choices


Yet, please take the time to listen and take your time 
to Search and Research...patiently with an open mind, 
Patiently without any fear or obcession
Search...and see the raw truth.


The information is at hand
Knowledge is the key to Awakening.


And do not allow yourself to go along with lies 
Or modified messages.


Source - Wikipédia.org, multiple videos.


Names to be know...


What is the New World Order ?
"New world order" to refer to a new period of history evidencing a dramatic change in world political thought and the balance of power after World War I and World War II. They all saw these periods as opportunities to implement idealistic proposals for global governance in the sense of new collective efforts to address worldwide problems that go beyond the capacity of individual nation-states to solve, while always respecting the right of nations to self-determination. 


Illuminati - 
A Secret Society, an Elightnent-age created on 1-May-1776, 
Plotting to create a New World Order through a one-world government.


Skeptics argue that evidence would suggest 
that the Bavarian Illuminati was nothing more than a curious historical footnote 
since there is no evidence that the Illuminati survived its suppression in 1785. 
[Excert]
  
[...] But they survived, there are evidences.


Population control and Mass Media
I think they are hand to hand.
They want that there exists only One Order that dominates the population. 
They start off by dominating the mind (mind control) 
and also using Mass Surveilance (also called the "all seing" 
Eye in top of a piramid. 


That symbol, you can see it in many places, including dolars, I believe. 
Also, conspirancy theorists think that that New World Order (NOW) 
Wants to control Reproduction of individuals.


The Complete Article :
Wiki - New World Order


It is not a fairytale. 
And one proof is: 


Pay attention to what you see. 
To what you listen. 


Many music artists are involved and controlled.
Many messages are in music and television. 
In logos or comercials...even cartoons!
But only to ones that pay attention...closely.


Sometimes, it is so subtile that you don't notice!
Sometimes, you see it so many times that you get used to it, 
Your eyes, your ears get used to it all.


Slow down and reverse some songs.
You may get surprising results out of that...


One reality is for sure :

One reality is for sure : The economy is sinking!
At least here in the UE countries.
The bankers and polithicians are getting more and more RICH. 
The rest of the population is getting POOR.


That eventually will give MORE power to the higher ranks.
And a DESPERATION feeling to the populations...
Desperation and Powerless feelings WILL allow them to take full control.

Awake and SEE... it is not too late...

World - Distracted Driving Awareness

Today I was around Youtube and I bumped into a video
About Texting and Driving.
Followed by that I found several (not to say a LOT)
Of articles about this subject.

Somehow related to this
there are other topics
Such as Distracted driving and also, Drunk driving.

My purpose here and NOW
and from now on is to open your eyes to this reality :

You have time for everything
To have fun, to be serious, to study
To dream, to work, to go out...

Don't OVER DO.
You have a whole life ahead of you
I am sure you do not want it
to flash in front of your eyes
Nor that it ends early.

Also , I am sure that
You don't want any injuries in the future
Or even a mourning family.

TO AVOID THIS,
Proper steps must be taken
Security and driving must be the priority
Awaneress (even tho some are violent)
Is never enough

A seat belt CAN save your life
and prevent you from accidents
Not texting others while driving
Will make you 100% focused on your driving!

Never put that as second task
But put DRIVING as first
If you do so, you will remain safe
Otherwise you won't

Consequences are often fatal
It takes just a second, one little distraction.

Another subject is texting
You can TEXT any time
You can answer that call anytime
And explain everything with TIME

So this is no joke
Many, many acidents could have been avoided
Could have been prevented
Many persons
Could have lived on to this day.

A seat belt CAN save your life
and prevent you from accidents
Not texting others while driving
Will make you 100% focused on your driving!

Never put that as second task
But put DRIVING as first
If you do so, you will remain safe
Otherwise you won't

Consequences are often fatal
It takes just a second, one little distraction.

Another subject is texting
You can TEXT any time
You can answer that call anytime
And explain everything with TIME

So this is no joke
Many, many acidents could have been avoided
Could have been prevented
Many persons
Could have lived on to this day.

World - Crisis

I shall only show my opinion about this...
UE and over UE territory is sinking a bit.
It is like a chain reaction
First one country, then another.
Not long ago, my country was hit by that wave of crisis as well.
I have a sharp sense of justice regarding this
And I shall be honest to my readers as well :

The ones who spend and earn money ilegally are the ones to blame
Mostly politicians or the ones in big companies over here
And us, people and citizens are the ones who are paying a debt that isn't ours
We didn't asked for the debt. They did, though.

We, the housewives and simple people who work for a living
We,... that earn less and less...
How can we pay a super.huge.overwhelming debt?

I see the drastic situation of people
Who worked a "whole life" just to get tiny retirements
Results? Not enough money to pay for medical bills or house bills.
We see badly payed and awfully temporay jobs...
That is incredibly sad reality in some places.

In this part I wonder how can they sleep
After all the rise of transportation, food/supplies and bill taxes?

This moves me in many ways...
I see more and more beggars.

But to contradict all of this, I notice mores sales...
= to consume MORE than we can actually afford.
More credit cards,
Discounts to ease the sales and pockets

More credit cards??
Spending more, I guess...
More debts too...

I see more modern cars for the politicians,
And I see them throwing sand to our eyes...
How can this possibly happen?

World - Tragedy in Oslo

My heart goes out to the 76 victims in Oslo
and in the island of Utoeya both situated in Norway
At the 22th of July.

As for the terrorist/responsible himself
(Who I think is Norwegian as well)
...I hope justice is done.

I still haven't exactly understood
What made him and what drove him
On making those horrid actions.
Only he knows by now.
Others can especulate about it.

Nothing can replace the loss of a loved one or grieve
some people in that country must be feeling.

I deeply respect the way that (even though only some)
Do not return the hatred.

Please, do not allow anger to destroy you.
Allow justice to be done... which I hope is done soon!
No one deserves their life to be taken away.
Kind regards, my prayers are with you.

Befriending Someone

I decided to write this post for whoever needs it.
Anytime it can happen.
Imagine, for instance, you either :

a) Aren't much social

b) Just feel like meeting new people

c) Are *scared or shy about making (new) friends;

Note : If you did developted or had a previous
(or even have had a sequence of) bad experiences
The person is likely to be less social and
Shy towards others. I have my point of view...
And afterwards my opinion/sugestions on the matter.

Point of View :
On school I was much considered what people can call
An *outcast or a loner ;
Specially at highschool due to bullying
I started to isolate. I am confortable to speak about it now
Nearly openly to others as it is over already.

One of my great friendships started because I was reading
A book! (rather boring I must add)
And she went and talked with me.
We know eachother for like
5 maybe almost 6 years now.

[...] People often did left me behind
Or labeled me. It is how it works mostly on high school
Even middle school. I know there is cruelty
There are events that can hurt or scar
But I know too that YOU ARE STRONGER than any of that
So, put that head up and high.

As for the rest of the point of view
I then made it through;
I started talking with people
Even from small to casual/simple things
You don't have to think too much
To start a conversation.

-----

My opinion and sugestions...
I will search and post some links :
A group on facebook called Friends to Friends Hotline:
+ http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=249833533215

Check this out too if you want :
+ http://www.friendshipgroup.net/
I will search for more stuff when I do have the time.

+ http://www.friendsandfamilyforum.com/

In the meantime my sugestions
Are to :

* Mostly search out through forums
(Chatrooms NO because some of them
Aren't trustworthy)

* Random maybe forums where you
...Do have some knowledge on
Like politics, gaming, health, artworks
Or even support forums.

* Social groups or joining a sport/activity you enjoy
For that inform yourself in school
We have SPO in here
(Serviço de Psicologia e Orientação
Translation - Orientation & Psychology Service)

* Social networks and websites like :
Facebook, Myspace, Twitter,
Hi5, Hyves, Myyearbook,
Youtube, Blogger, ect.

* Going out to events, parties
(In a moderate non-dangerous way)
Concerts, amusement parks,
Church, sport associations
A book or game that was released
Even Cosplays!

* If it becomes too much
As a fear or fobia
Try to speak to your local/regular psychologist.
It can be a start already.

Searching and reaching for help
Isn't something to be embarassed or scared of.
Focus on yourself and needs above all.
Do not forget studies in any case as well.

Something else .
It can all start with a conversation.
Believe it. Don't lose hope.
The maintaining a(-) conversation(s)
Will be going on other post
On the *Social Secction in this blog.

I can search and advice
Plus maybe post some users
Who can have experience
And/Or have further sugestions on the matter too.
Hope this was helpful and good luck!

End in 2012?

(OR So they say...)

1.1. Believers/Christians point to a Renewal
And Arrival of Christ on Earth to save some
Others point to an Appocalypse to come.

1.2. Einstein had a theory (either him or Nostradamus)
Of a Meteor hitting Earth, and that as we know it
Would cease to exist.

1.3. Then there is the "famous"
And ancient Mayan Callendar.
It points to 21 December 2012
And 12 Popes, being this one now
Maybe the one before the last
If not The Last.

1.4. Some come with videos spreading fear
Others leaving prayers and faith ;

1.5. Others do point to the apearance of the AntiChrist.

1.6. At last others speak of many events to happen :
- Natural catastrophies (floods,hurricanes, earthquakes and dry spots);
- Diseases (famine/starvation, flu)
- Lack/End of supplies (food and water);
- Increase of wars/terrorism and political issues;
- Serious Issues regarding Global Warming.
- Inversion of South/North Poles.

1.7. Even "Survival Kits" exist for the Future in about a year.

My Opinion :

1.1. I still believe there is an afterlife
Therefore I believe I will meet someone there
Whether it is God or relatives of me.

1.2. I'm not crashing down this theory
but I'ld go to believe in scientific,
Present facts not a prediction
Made by someone from years
...And years back.

1.3. It is really known this one;
Not meaning to bash their theory
By 100% but they did not had
The same technology, gear and gadgets that we have now.
And yes some facts did occur.
It does not mean that this will go as they said.
They were said to predict many things
Yet they probably did not predict the end
Of their own civilization.

1.4. I saw this once...
Everyone (OR almost everyone!) was terrified
With the arrival of the New Millenium
(2000 at that time)
A lot of rumours were spread,
Terror/horror was unleashed
Still , after eleven years...
We are still standing and going.

1.5. In order to believe in a God and Good
We must believe in something Bad and Evil as well
I see it in the way people act.
They can do GOOD or EVIL actions
Which define later the rewards OR consequences of those
I don't believe that there
Would be someone absolutely AS GOOD as Christ on Earth
Nor anyone as BAD as whoever is symbol of great evil
...Such as an AntiChrist on Earth.
There is no need for AntiChrists.
For some, already are
Destructive enough with their actions.

1.6. True. Natural catastrophies are taking place ;
It is nothing new. Resources can deplete.
But Earth has a certain ability to Heal.
It won't if us human beings keep destroying more
And in a larger scale...
Diseases have always existed since I remember
Still with all this polution we are struggling
...More.

Serious Global Warming, that one would be possible
As I said due to the high escale
Of waste and pollution thrown to the Atmosphere.
Wars and Terrorism are one way to Chaos
And to lead to killings not the absolute end of the world
...As we know it;

I personally do not believe in the inversion of poles.
This Earth is proven to be spining around
Not standing still.

1.7. Why? Business Purposes?
The world is ending...
Let's go buy
A Survival Kit a year before this,
Just in case!

About the World...

Watch carefully. It is very moving.
The images alone are very touching...
Awareness or heart breaking?
You decide.
It is in our hands to change the hands of fate
Together we can stand and make a diference.
Alone we can START the diference.
