End of the world

Whenever I see these words "END OF THE WORLD" the first thing that comes in to my mind is that the world was supposed to end in the year 2000. People around me were really scared that the world would end at this time. It was all over the news, and everyone you knew would tell you about it.
I remember growing up with my grandmother, who is very religious, and was always telling us that we should do the right things and make the right choices because the end of the world was near. That according to the bible the things happening around the world where signs that the end of the world was near because it said in the bible those exact things that were taking place around the globe. I do believe in god and respect everyone’s religious believes, but honestly I am not a 100 % devoted catholic and I believe that there would be and end of the world eventually but not because the bible or for that matter the man who wrote the bible said so. I think simply that everything that begins must have an end just like anything that lives. It is born, grows or develops, then dies/finishes. I apply the same criteria for the world. It had a beginning and I believe it will have an end. The end may come due to our own actions and mistreatment towards Mother Nature and therefore bringing to an end the world. Not necessarily because there is a date scheduled for it to happen.
