Mushroom Clouds And Nuclear Bombs

With the current nuclear arsenals of the world as they are. Little has changed in respect to the overall outcome of full-scale thermonuclear war.

It will simply be, the end.

The world came perilously close during the Cuban missile crisis (as in key's turned, fingers on the buttons.)
We're all still here because of the much exaggerated, yet very real phenomenon known as common sense.

It might not be so common, but it's there.

Whether or not it will remain enough? Only time will tell.
What I do know, is that at any time that is but one possible thing of many, that may at any time happen to bring on the end of the world.

  • A sufficiently large volcanic eruption, could render us extinct. As has been the cause of several previous mass extinction events over earth's history.
  • A sufficiently large meteor or comet strike, would send us the way of the dinosaurs. If you like science fiction. I recommend reading "Lucifer's Hammer" By Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle. Very good fiction on the subject.
  • A Gamma Ray Burst from the sun, ours or even a more distant star, could overwhelm the Earth's magnetic field. Dousing the planet in an enormous amount of gamma radiation. Imagine 10x9e Chernobyl disaster.
  • Disease is always a possibility as well. Another plague to rival the Black Death of ancient Europe or the Spanish flu of the early 20th century.
You know what the one thing all of these possible events have in common?
The simple fact that right now. At this moment, there is nothing you or I, can do about it.
Nothing. Nada, zip.

So what's the sense in obsessing over it?
 
Very very good thread.
I agree so much that our dreams are a microcosm of what we are thinking and worrying about.
And so often the crazy twists and turns of those dreams, whatever we can remember, really can help us to understand and illustrate much of that which we are twirling around subconsciously and fretting over, when actually
"there is nothing you or I can do about it. Nothing. Nada, zip."
So true.
So when I can trace my dreams I feel gifted - like I had a free movie pass to a front row seat at a great sci-fi movie.
I learn what I can from it and leave the rest.
I love dreams.
Wish I had more.
 
It's going to scare me if something like war happens. Like I foresaw the events that was going to lead to war.

I for one am terrified by Trump. Wh wish for the awful harm to come upon the world. Like none has ever seen? Why?
 
Maybe just time is running out. Idk. It's just very ironic like all the coincidences I have had in the last twelve yrs that I'm being built for ministry. I feel better everyday but I do have issues with klonopin. I'm trying to wean and take . 25 three times a day. I'm cutting it as slow as possible.

Hopefully I won't have to end up in detox again and Ct it all over again. Ugh the sign of the times. Oh well.
