"The end of the world is nigh!"
"The world ends tomorrow!"
After a long and fruitful life I am just starting to think that maybe these naysayers have got it wrong....is it possible that I will serve out my last remaining days and not be witness to the end of the world as we know it?
Somehow history seems to record that human beings just get on with business after experiencing some of the most unbelievable events...
I have also observed that some of the best businessmen seem to be totally unencumbered with worries about the dangers of quarks and the Large Hadron Collider.
Perhaps we could help ourselves by considering not what could possibly happen, but what is likely to happen?
In that thought is the realization that we can do absolutely nothing about the consequences of what could possibly happen, but we can benefit greatly by taking advantage of foreseeing what is likely to happen.
