The End

We as a human population have a gift for predicting how the world is going to end. Its scary to think that we can write so many movies and TV shows about the end of the world like it might never happen. However, some of the stories have a valid premise for the start of the end of the world. Some for the cure for a terminal disease that might reduce the humans mind to a mere shell that only has the basic human instincts to eat and to survive; others with the earth falling apart from the inside from the cataclysmic event.

Zombie, which seems to be the thrill on the market, and frankly it’s the scariest. People move towards the idea that animal instinct is the inevitable end game. We would be coming full circle, and would be moving back towards a time when there wasn’t any need for presidents, mayors, or any type of authoritarian figure that wasn’t providing food. For every person it is eat or be eaten at this point in the world. These shows might be a result of the fact that so many people are having a hard time hiding the urge for blood lust.

There have been multiple ways that have been brought fourth as a way that the world will end. A personal favorite is the slow motion type, where we are killing our selves. The melting of the ice caps, the burning of the ozone layer, starvation in mass quantities around the world, obesity in the rest. What most people don’t realize is that we don’t need some sort of high risk, super monster to worry about we have our self already, and the scariest monsters are usually man made.

There are movies that even depict the trees as the monsters that are taking matters into their own hands and ridding the world of a good portion of the world population in an effort to save the earth. In another scenario we bomb each other to death, creating a world that isn’t safe for us to survive in, forcing the human race into space for over a hundred years. There is an endless amount of ways to push the human kind to extinction.

There are movies out that make a parody of the end of the world in the biblical sense. We laugh about the fact that as long as we can do at least on good deed before we die then we can go to heaven where whatever we want is aloud. We can smoke drink and fornicate till our heart is content because we were good right before we died.

These last generations have built monuments to the post apocalyptic world where the need for systematic oppression isn’t necessary. We seem to subconsciously long for a world where we can do whatever we want without the repercussions of society. We have created several different scenarios for the end of the world, and each one is more appealing then the last and our ideas are forth coming.
