The End of the World and Other Five Minute Ponderings-

got to thinking about the end of the world recently, and I came up with this thought concerning it.

The end of the world shall proceed exactly as it should based upon the belief system you currently hold about how the beginning of the world came to be.

To put it another way... the end of the world would conform to a set of rules.
Rules? Yes, rules.

Take for example, if you believe that the world was created by an elder deity of a clearly paternal nature, you may conclude that the world shall end by the will of said deity with no surprises.

Or if you believe that the world came about at an instant in a great 'boom', if you will, along with the rest of the universe; then it is likely to conclude that the universe shall contract in a similarly large 'boom' or 'crunch'.

If you are inclined to believe that the world is merely a collection of visions from the dream of some supreme entity in a marvelous state of sleep, then it may follow that this entity would undoubtedly wake, thus ending it all.

If you believe that the world is merely a mirage and we all live in a bubble of reality, it is probable that you also believe that the mirage shall disappear and the bubble shall eventually pop.

But what if you believe that there is no beginning or end to the world at all; that all existence is merely the briefest of fleeting moments in a thin shadow of nothingness itself, then it follows that there is no order, no sequence, no destiny and the world is simply a farce; and that would be something indeed.

Whatever you believe, the end of the world for you is very likely to be orderly and sane. No deviation can occur. All is in accordance with a set of rules. Anything else would be as unsettling and uncomforting as the end of the world itself. Those are the rules.
