'The end is always near' Boom time for doomsayers

In this months New Yorker, Ben McGrath, writes about 'Boom time for doomsayers',

Since the dawn of time there have been doomers ...a real doomster's view that the world is going to end soon so the borrowing will never have to be paid anyway. This is an extraordinarily dangerous view, especially when it is held by economists (perhaps subliminally) and politicians (literally, in some cases).

In all reality 'The end is always near and we are all destine to die' . A doomer viewpoint is dangerous and irrational to believe the quantity of 'time' we spend here out weighs its quality. Simply doing the wrongs things to ourselves and others 'because we could all die tomorrow' mentality ... is some teenage potheads excuse for doing nothing productive (WE ALL KNOW THIS).

A rational understanding is that all life and time on earth can not be qualified or quantified by monetary or personal gains and that the only true peace and happiness we find is through the love and togetherness with others.

Think about this for a moment -

Lets say you have a week before we are all going to die from, a Yosemite eruption, massive meteor hit or Hadron Collider creating a self sustaining black hole - If 'the end is near' are you grabbing your guns and cash or making last minute time and reconciliation with friends and loved ones.

And if you have never experienced these relations you will be desperately looking to have or get it from others...

In perspective time is relative to what we make of it. 'what we do with it is our own choice'

HAASE - The only way to get out of a hole is climb or jump out not dig in deeper....
