The world of 2012: how do you see it?

The world is changing. We do read it at various places. It’s more of a metaphor than anything else now days. I ask myself, Alright the world is changing but where and how? It’s been changing since the creation. So that myth takes me to a point thinking that how am I changing with this world? How these changes affect me?

Honestly speaking being a normal human I won’t stop eating thinking that there are 3.7 million people in Somalia who have nothing to eat. I won’t stop drinking thinking there are people who can’t drink or I even won’t stop spending on my luxuries despite the fact that there are a lot of people who lack the basic necessities of life. If nothing’s changing for me then how do I say that it will be a changed world in 2012? Yeah I will probably have my 23rd birthday. Maybe have a better job, a better living standard. But still there will be people dying of hunger, robbing, raping, making a mockery of someone, laughing, chatting, crying or writing for a changed 2013 somewhere on this planet.

So for me that world is not changing. It remains all the same. The only thing which changes is the probability of evil happening here which is increasing at a rapid speed. 2012 will be yet another year of despair agony, frustration and desperation for most people.

I can’t foresee the future and I am neither a pessimist, but I rather won’t tell anyone a fairy tale by saying that it will be a completely changed world in a year. I am a realist and for me this world won’t change unless we start changing ourselves individually which we won’t because it’s easy to point your finger and say that is the bad guy rather the pointing it to ourselves. When you can’t stand for what you believe in you can’t change the world and for me the year 2012 will just be another year of hatred and enmity among humanity.
