I think the problem with 'impending doom' is it keeps you from living your life, and when it never comes, you realize you just wasted decades on worrying about something that never happened, when you could have been doing something worthwhile, like eating cake or playing with your kids or grandkids, or seeing Paris.

Doom, schmoom, if it comes, it comes, and there is nothing to be done to prevent it. Who wants to live in a cave and eat MREs and hope somebody remembered to get a warehouse full of toilet paper, and hope like heck you have enough guns and ammo to keep somebody else from taking it from you?

Once I started repeating that to myself, my sense of 'impending doom' changed to 'something big is around the corner, and I can hardly wait to see what it is'...

[QUOTE="AnnetteMarie, post: 87383, member: 802"] I think the problem with 'impending doom' is it keeps you from living your life, and when it never comes, you realize you just wasted decades on worrying about something that never happened, when you could have been doing something worthwhile, like eating cake or playing with your kids or grandkids, or seeing Paris. Doom, schmoom, if it comes, it comes, and there is nothing to be done to prevent it. Who wants to live in a cave and eat MREs and hope somebody remembered to get a warehouse full of toilet paper, and hope like heck you have enough guns and ammo to keep somebody else from taking it from you? Once I started repeating that to myself, my sense of 'impending doom' changed to 'something big is around the corner, and I can hardly wait to see what it is'... ;) [/QUOTE]
