I would actually welcome the end of the world
I really love the world, and I want to see mankind prosper, to discover more and more, generation after generation, for centuries into the future; into undiscovered worlds...
But then at the same time I have this really sick fantasy that it would be totally awesome if a really big asteroid hit the earth in the next 10 years or so and killed everyone. I would go outside and watch all the people freaking out, and we'd all know we were all going to die no matter what, and the giant wall of fire from the asteroid would come rushing 6 miles high toward us and we'd all stand there freaking out and praying and crying and waiting to die. It would be awesome, but at the same time it would kind of suck. But then again, it kind of sucks that some villager got blown up last week in Afghanistan while he was buying wheat at the market, so what's the difference? Is this normal?
