People almost want the world to just end I find. So that way their free from decisions, expectations, their inhabitions and habits. But can I say to you, that there is much time left, and if there wasn't, why bother thinking about it? Shouldn't you be out living life verses fearing and loathing your demise? Everyone's gonna die. Yes you will die one day, shit it could even be tonight. But what direction are these thoughts taking you too? Away from where you need to be to do your duty on this earth, what's that you ask? Your already doing it.

Don't let them scare you away from creating the master-piece that is you.
So true. We all have a bit of a duty to remain positive. I feel that optimism lends to being a visionary and a visionary moves the world forward. No pessimist or doomsday believer ever created a cure for a disease, invented an amazing technology, or really helped mankind in general because what's the point, right? I actually believe those people enter the Catholic Church. Anyway, I'd much rather look back and be part of the solution, especially when it means I'm happier throughout that journey, as well as make a lot of friends in the process and hopefully leave the world in a better state than before I got here.

At the end of it all, at least I can say that I tried and I did my level best.
