“The end of the world as we know it” doesn’t necessarily mean the end of the world. How possible is it to have a new, improved, better world take the place of the world as you knew it?
Mail this week from our readers suggests that redemption through learning from change – including difficulty – allows for a potentially better world. One person mentioned his father’s heart attack and how it inspired him to take better care of himself. Others mentioned seeing what seems and feels like an unusually high amount of turmoil in the world and believing that it is growing pains for a move into a higher state of being for humankind. Many wrote with hope that things were changing – albeit painfully – for the better.
What “ends of the world as you knew it” have rocked your world by ending the way things have been, but changed for the better? If it were within your power, what changes in the world as you know it would you engineer? Are you ever influenced by “end of the world” thinking? What kinds of protections, if any, do you deploy when “end of the world” is mentioned?
