Lets be Honest: We're all Secretly hoping for the Apocalypse to arrive.

I cant just be me, right? For far too long have I entertained the thought of the apocalypse. Call it Qayamat. call it Kalyug, or the day of judgement. The thought remains the same.

Oh you know, Just the usual. Will it be instantaneous, like a shooting star, lighting the night sky one moment, total darkness the next. Or will the end be a long torturous day that never seems to end, until it does; with a sun setting, only to never rise again?


We know that we're all going to die. Its a fact. It may be the next year, or the next Minute. That too, is a fact....... Yeah yeah we know this, but have we really absorbed it? for far too long have we delayed what were supposed to do out of the desire for instant gratification, with the thought of maybe us having the next month to do whatever we were to be doing right now. Its a funny, yet wishful thinking. To know that we might not be alive the next minute, yet delay things for the next day.


The sun is fifteen million degrees hot. That's a fact, But like our time on earth, its just something we agree on without fully digesting the reality. Water boils at a 100 degrees, that's something we can comprehend. humans die at 90 degrees Celsius;

yet the fact remains. The Suns core is 15 MILLION Degrees Celsius.


Atheists will believe things they can see and touch and feel, so the concept of rebirth or the apocalypse is mere children's bedtime stories, but if you're interested in still listening to this bedtime story, go ahead reading this article.


Humans are pretty messed up creatures. I don't think I need to explain my statement. If you've lived long enough, you too, might have felt like going on a mass murder spree and if possible, you could just 'Thanos' humanity out of existence and finally be at peace. Murder, Theft, Forceful exploitation, greed, lust, all these are inherently present in every human being, the only difference is the good ones don't let these traits overpower their rationality.

It might be tempting to think along the lines of- "No human is good or bad, just instances where they might have acted a certain way." and "Humans are complex creatures and should not be categorized on "Good people" and "Bad people"". But I have learnt that this path is a very slippery slope along which rationalizing any and all heinous activities become possible, hence lets not go along that path.


All of us who do believe in the apocalypse certainly know that the sight is NOT going to be pleasant leading up to the finale. With cataclysmic wickedness and degeneracy at its peak, one can expect death to be a better situation to be in than the mental insanity that shall be normalized. I speak for myself, but the thought of apocalypse although scary, is one of a lasting peace, from the wickedness within myself, and of the world. I am beyond saving, being overtaken by greed, and of the ID/Ego, The 'I' has caught up to 'Us'.

Error 404; सो ऽहम् is not to be found, We humans are beyond the point of redemption.

We Know that the end is near, and we are doomed. But are we secretly hoping for it to come sooner for peace from the very thing within us?

The best thing with all of us that we all know the power of giving "Jakat/ Daan/ Charity= the currency which will be used after our death" but still we all are taking from everyone. Shameful part is that we are always taking something or the other from our loved ones. How about start giving only giving... Adieus
