Dear journal,
There was a man who prophesized that the end of the world is near when nation after nation would destroy each other with revolutions and hostilities, which would later on lead to a shattering war that is said to vanish and eradicate everything.
I do not know how prophesies go, but I am definitely with high hopes that they are both erroneous and false. But hypothetically, let us say that Armageddon is indeed near, what do you think will you do?
As for me, I think I'd go home and stay with my family. I would choose to spend the last days or months with them because for the past 5 years, I have been away and I miss them so much. We'll have every meal together, pray together, and do almost everything together. I guess the end of the world wouldn't be that scary if you are with people whom you are willing to die for or to die with. When that time comes, it will not be about dying anymore, but it shall be about my family and I crossing-over to a new and better place together.
I would tell my friends that I love them and would thank them for sharing many things with me. They are the other parts that make me whole, and I would forever be grateful for that. For those that I have wronged and have offended intentionally and unintentionally, I would ask sincere apologies. I would not give reasons why those things were done; I would just plainly say my piece.
For the world, I wish it would take a step backward and, for the last time, be tamed. A day without war would probably not be possible, but that is one of my prayers before I die. I pity those children who haven't lived their lives yet and have to suffer the consequence of the actions of those people who have lived wicked lives. Though ironic it may seem, nothing and no one can answer the injustices that have been in our society since who knows when.
It is a fearsome and dreadful hypothetical picture. But come to think of it, if we live our day thinking it is our last, we would be nicer, kinder, and more polite. Even in arduous and challenging times, we would be more considerate and more solicitous . The bad will be good, and the good will be better.
The thought of death, therefore, humbles people.
Let us not wait for Armageddon to come for us to realize the things that we need to do and change. Let us not wait for another Nostradamus to tell us that our existence is already coming to an end before we share our love and not be heartless. Let our story continue and let us altogether add pages to the book of human race.
Remember, lightning could strike anytime...
