‘Some say the dark age, age of vice, Kaliyuga, is here now, or at least coming soon. Some even fear that at the end of 2012 the world as we know it will end. What determines if an age is dark or golden? What are the symptoms or omens? Earthquakes, violet skies, meteoric activity, these are not the omens of doomsday as we are made to believe. Likewise, cherub’s flying, a sound economy, freedom of information, peaceful times are also not necessarily signs of a golden age. The age of light is said to be when people value empathy and forgiveness, when they have a willingness to see other people’s view, and are contented with what they have. When such values are systematically sabotaged, then you can say that the dawn of the doomsday has begun. When we look at a harmless beggar as a pest and envy billionaires who routinely destroy the earth,we are inviting doomsday to come. ’

‘有人說,黑暗時代、惡世或說爭鬥時期(Kaliyuga)已然到來,或至少是即 將到來。有些人甚至害怕,在2012年底,我們所知的世界即將終結。黑暗時代或 黃金時代是由什麽決定?徵兆或預兆爲何?地震、紫色天空、流星活動,這些並 非我們信以爲真的世界末日預兆。同樣地,小天使飛翔、經濟穩健、信息自由、 天下太平,也未必就是黃金時代的徵兆。據說,當人們珍視同理心與寬恕的價值、 願意瞭解他人的觀點,並且對所擁有的事物知足時,就是光明時代。當這些價值受到系統性破壞,你可以說,世界末日已開始漸露端倪。當我們將無害的乞丐視作害蟲,並且艶羨那些慣於破壞地球的億萬富翁時,我們就是在邀請世界末日的到來。‘
