People talk about Armageddon. To me it has already happened. We are already fighting among ourselves. People talk about catastrophe. There are already catastrophes.
People talk about starving.
We are already starving. So, to me it has already happened. My bias may be wrong, but I believe we are slowly experienceing now what most prophets and teachers have seen. But the main thing that is being destroyed is our view of our world, and our view of our selves. And, of course, that is what our world is.
