Abandon Hope all ye who enter here!
Blacksmith at DOOM furnace, digital illustration, fiery workshop, hellish glow, dark reds, intense mood, forging weapons.
An ample warning has already been given with the Header. That being said:
If you WANT the pain, misery, suffering, despair, & whatnot that comes with the bleak material posted here, welcome aboard, Dear Reader(s)!
The DOOM here will be Top-Notch, Smelted straight out of the DOOM-furnace, Fresh & Hawt. The level of Sheer Human Despair, DOOM, & gloom here is off the charts!
The Philosophy behind this approach of mine is simple:
We live in exceptionally Perilous Times. Gone are the days when people could 'Cope' with the day's tribulations, troubles & miseries.
There are too many Calamities converging onto one another rapidly. Thus, only the Hardiest will survive.
Essentially, I wish to 'Weed Out' those folks who would have never 'Made it.' This means hitting you, Dear Reader(s), with All the DOOM, gloom & despair that is prevalent in our Troubled Times. One of three things will happen afterward:
You will succumb to the Misery, Pain & suffering wrought by said bleak material. You will 'accept your fate' & recognize that the Calamities ahead will spell your own DOOM. Rather than Fight Back, you will Cower in Fear & agony.
You will steel yourself. You will REFUSE to just 'lay down & Die.'... think of the Meme "Man too angry to Die," & imagine yourself manifesting said Righteous Fury & directing it toward meaningful, productive change.
You will go: 'Yeah, this is all nonsense... none of this will ever happen!' I call this the 'Shrub of Joy!' outcome (special thanks to the fantastic Mr. Alex Macris for coining the phrase!), where 'Ignorance truly is bliss!'.
Needless to say, I would like you, Dear Reader(s), to manifest (2) rather than (1).
As for those who tend toward (3), there are better outcomes than this, but that being said, I am not too worried. Should you get to (3), it simply means my 'Superstitious Ramblings' are too unrealistic, brutish & pessimistic for you.
In the scenario above, Dear Reader(s), you need a *Rude Wake Up Call*, not my DOOM-speech. “Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward,” as Vernon Sanders Law stated.
This can take the form of a Giant sequence of Nuclear Bonfires, Djinn & demons being summoned into our realms &/or some other related abomination.
This is why I never have any issues with those of a more 'Materialistic' mindset who take issue with my 'Superstitious Ramblings,' it's only a matter of time till that harsh teacher known as 'Experience' makes herself felt.
So I pray, Dear Reader(s), that you heed this Madman's warnings!
I shall continue Writing essays, analysis & short-form content to annotate the DOOM prevalent in our times. I pray that you find them useful, insightful & actionable.
The DOOM cometh, & every Human Being is needed to 'man the defenses' for the Catastrophies of our time. The more of us who Survive, the better!
I look forward to seeing you all in the comments, & perhaps even 'in real life.' I am not good with 'Optimism,' so instead I will part with you these words:
‘Prepare for Battle!’ ~Gandalf
