Default Re: Fear Mongering, Does anyone else see this?

I think that the most important point that seems to be missed by many people, including the "conspiracy audience", of which I am one, is that when people that are supposed to be "in the know" predict something, it's merely a possibility. Nothing more, nothing less. It is not set in stone that it will happen.

Our free will and state of mind (through consciousness) have a lot if not everything to do with what awaits us in the future. Far too often this is something that is not addressed and when "doom and gloom" information is presented in one form or another, it is normally done so in such a way that makes it seem as though it is inevitable at some point.

The biggest thing that I believe we all have to learn (including myself at times) is that the future is changing all the time and we are the ones that are altering it. Personally, I still have some anxiety about what is going to happen in the next few years, but fundamentally I understand that my thoughts and actions also play an important role in how that future plays out and that is perhaps the most important lesson one can learn.
