The Begining of The End?..... Education is never wasted

It’s here – the beginning of the end. At least it is if you are a believer of the assumption that because the Mayan calendar ends in 2012; therefore the world ends in 2012. 

As I do not believe that the world will end 2012 I don’t think it’s worth my while to conduct research into the matter. Anyway, if the world does end in 2012 we’ll all know about it soon enough. 

When considering such matters it is worth noting that such similar doomsday predictions, thus far, have had an excellent inaccuracy record of 100.0000%.  

Proliferators of such predictions obviously either never heard, or never understood the fable/parable of the little boy that cried “wolf”. 

In my relatively short life I have heard numerous “Apocalypse” warnings. The last time the world was supposed to end was last year………. in October I think.  

Those Unisa students that have chosen to continue their studies this year, clearly believe that the world will not end – or maybe they just believe that in the event of imminent destruction their last days will be best spent in the pursuit of education. Even in the event of mass destruction Education is never wasted.
