2012 will be the end of the world

Now I come to some kind of believing that

2012 will be the end of the world

December 11, 2009

I had never believed the nonsense like 2012 will be the end of the world until I opened today’s daily mail.

It says that scientists have discovered a way to remove the fearful memory. They found that when recalling back, people have a short period of time to let their brains “rewrite” the unpleasant part to a better one.

It is predicted that deleting fear memories would achieve success in labs soon and come into practice in the near future. If human being removed all painful memories, such as slave trade, Nazi war, Nanjing Massacre…then the end of the world would be around the corner.



Actually, painful memories are more likely to push us forward than happy ones. In every disaster there is a golden lesson that we can learn.



Human being removed the memory of nature disaster caused by over pollution. They forgot the painful memory of losing families. The tragedy would happen again, even worse.



Not every scientific experiment can be performed. It, on the one hand, can head the history forward. On the other hand, it has the power to end it.
