Lesson learned: Man cannot predict the end of the world, but it makes one think. If I died today, what do I have to be proud of? Where will my soul end up (if anywhere)? And let us not begin on the infinite list of regrets.

However, just because the world didn't end today, does not mean it will be here tomorrow. Maybe it will end Dec. 2012.

My point (as cliche as it sounds): live everyday as if it is your last.
Rather or not that means you will pray harder or play harder is your decision.
