Twelve Twelve Twelve (12.12.12)



This is the last in the series beginning with 01.01.01 which we have had every year for the last 12 years, and will not happen for another century or more precisely 89 years for 01.01.01 to reappear.

Todsay proceeded without event as just another day, except for the baby born in Ratnapura ostensibly at 12 minutes past 12 in the afternoon of the 12.12.12. with video cameras to film the occasion. Surely not! I found that very suspicious, or more likely that the arrival was induced to happen at that very moment, with the Press and video cameras to record the occasion!


No doubt this forced occasion for the purposes of publicity, will be completely lost on the viewer who would not doubt the sincerity of the coincidence, instead of wondering how there was a camera team to record the occasion in advance!

The more interesting moment was that the people who were using this date, which is in any way just coincidence, as it bears no relation to the birth of Christ as even his birth year is under some cloud, is just another moment in time that so happens due to the calendar adopted by most people, coincides with this unique number that occurs approximately once every 100 years.

More to the point human beings are unique, and there are NO repeat performances. All we can do is compare one with the other, in terms of making value judgments. Our comparisons are based on our evaluation and not of any others and are therefore open to interpretation just the same. So are their theories.

I noticed that Facebook had quite a few references to the possibility of some unforeseen catastrophe that may take place today, and if not on the 22nd, both of which I consider more man-made madness, as I repeat these are just dates that happen to coincide and do not bear any relation to any untoward event that is expected to take place. Let us just pass this period by and watch with amusement how superstition and hearsay have guided the lives of so many.
