December 21, 2012, has been proclaimed by some as the year the world will end; the great apocalypse. Playing against the fears of people who believe this hype, there will be those scoundrels who will try to get your money with their products that will supposedly save you from impending doom. The concepts that have perpetuated this end of the world belief are questionable and come from totally unrelated beliefs to a catastrophic conclusion.
Looking at the story about the Mayan calendar, which ends in December 2012, speculation says the calendar ends because that's when the world as we know it will end. But let's think about it - the Mayan's disappeared a looooong time ago. Rather than jump to the conclusion that the Mayans were envisioning or calculating an end to the world, why not consider that they just simply did not make a new calendar? As long as we are hypothesizing, how about considering that the guy who had the genius IQ to create the calendar in the first place got fed up with the realm and moved to the beach for some peace, so no one was around to put together the calendar.
Moving on to another concept that some planet in 2012 is going to pass very close to earth. This legend, which was first predicted to occur in May 2003, leads one to believe that the Earth will be flipped upside down.

Some think 2012 will mark a spiritual awakening. Now there's a good thought! Yet others feel an asteroid will greet us in 2012. There have been scores of predictions of the end of the world. The dates have come and gone
Conclusion
It's ain't over until it's over. Live each day to its fullest, spend money wisely, love others, and laugh often.
