: Well, the "Survival of the Fittest

Friends,
Isaac Newton predicted the return of Jesus in 2012.
The Mayan calandar ends in 2012.
Other phrophesies also point to something big happening in 2012. Check out all the books being published right now about 2012. Could it be another Y2K? I don't know.
I don't know about all these phrophesies but it doesn't take a Taoist sage to see that the World of Man is getting more and more strained with each passing day.
Maybe something unexpected by most of us is coming our way. Speaking of "Fear and Desire" maybe something "Wonderful" as in "2010 A Space Odyssey" is coming. Or maybe we are simply on our last legs.
And so I return to my categorical imperative. It does not matter what a person believes if they don't have love in their heart. Love even your enemies. Obviously Jesus did not know LD. Just kidding Last Days.
Find your joy LD. Nothing else makes life worth living in my opinion. One thing about joy though. If your joy brings others pain then it is not the kind of joy I am talking about.
