Subject: Is it just me...

I persist too long after my own defeat,
Yet I still press forward, staggering on my feet.
But I know that my resolution will be my end.
And once I fall, I shall ruefully transcend.

... or is there that prevalent notion which haunts you when overly-assured individuals mock even the most ludicrous of beliefs? Do you fear that it might jinx you/ us/ all who may allegedly be affected when it's ridiculed to such an extensive degree?

I speak on such terms considering there's so much mockery of this supposed apocalypse never occurring.

Take heed, I am one who believed none of that nonsense, however there's the little ounce of paranoia in my mind about it all backfiring upon us.

IN LAYMAN'S TERMS- "Do you think that even though the world isn't supposed to end, due to people mocking it so much, it might jinx us and backfire?"

Just a thought. Discuss.

Im going to disregard your articulate inquiry as well as convey my own thought in a manner befitting a layman.

Nothing is going to happen.

I think you need to define which notion you feel.

That's what's tripping people up. It's like saying, "I am thinking something. Do you agree with it?"

Anyways, yeah, somewhat.

What if heaven/hell really do exist? well -blam!-.

Very well.

Do you think that even though the world isn't supposed to end, due to people mocking it so much, it might jinx us and backfire?

No, that is stupid logic.

^^^we don't no yet we just gotta let time tell us the truth

"What is better - to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?"
-Paarthurnax

"The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world."
-G-Man

I find it appropriate at times such as these to make a mockery of the ridiculous notion of an apocalyptic event which has too little evidence to even be considerable. The simple fact that the population will take any information, no matter how absurd or nonsensical it may be, and adopt it as a belief of their own is well deserving of the ridicule it receives.

In my time on this planet, it appears that overconfidence has granted me the opposite result of what was initially going to occur.

More than mere disappointment from optimism. Rather fortune working against me.

It isn't fortune handing you a bad deal...-blam!- just happens for no reason. Maybe the Universe is getting back at you for unnecessarily using big words.

Sucks to be you.

I've committed my fair share of "malevolence" (emphasis on such a term due to it being influenced by, for the most part, mere juvenile pettiness) as a child. But I've paid for my crimes.. no longer am I one of positive spirits.
