2012 - The year that people thought the world would end

Did you really think that the world would end last year? Did this fact change your behaviour? 

I am going to tell you some stories of people who thought that the end of the world was close and did unexpected things:  

1) A daughter-in-law who hated her mother-in-law - She was planning to kill her mother-in-law just to have the feeling of not having "that witch" in her life at least for half a year. But she didn't want to go to the jail in the last 6 months left of her life... So, she looked for a man who makes poisons. He prepared a poison and said: put this powder in her meal every day, but you need to treat her well, then people wouldn't accuse you of killing her. So, she got home and did exactly what the man had said. And every day she'd prepare her mother-in-law's meal and served her, trying to pretend that things were good. Her mother-in-law was appreciating her attitude and started to treat her better too. They started to get along well... and after a month she went back to the man and said: I don't want her to die anymore! Please, do you have any anti-poison? The man said: I knew that it'd happen. Don't worry, that wasn't a poison. It was just some vitamins for her better health. The woman was so relieved! Well, the world didn't end, but at least now they are friends!

2) A future criminal - A guy decided to steal everything he wanted and coulnd't afford. Then he would be able to enjoy them before he dies! Oh, sh-t... the world didn't end!!! Yes, now he is in jail!

3) A owner of a church - He knew that the world wouldn't end, but he wanted people to believe in it, then he would get rich selling places in heaven! So, he said to people: "The world is ending, so you need to get your place in heaven, and how do you do this?". One person in the middle of the crowded said: "Waiving our material things and giving our money for God?!?!". The preacher said: "Exactly!! Let's do it!!". So the man said: "Hey, everybody! Let's go!! I know a lot of charitable institutions that need donations!!!"... and everybody followed the man! Oh well, I consider that the owner of the church did something good indirectly!  The world didn't end...he is not rich as he wanted, the church had to be closed... but now people are helping institution that really need instead of "helping" only one greedy man.  

4) A man in-love - It has been 5 years that he loves a woman from his work... 

but he doesn't have the guts to tell her. When he heard about the end of the world, he thought he had nothing 

to lose. He decided to tell her about his feelings. As he did, the woman said: "I've also had a crush 

on you for a long time". Well, the world didn't end and now they are having the time of their lives together!!

5) An unhappy doctor - This doctor didn't like his profession. He just became a doctor because his father 

wanted, then he would have a good financial life. Well, since the world were ending in one year and he 

wouldn't need the money in a long term, he decided to quit his job and do what he likes: playing guitar and 

composing music.  Well, the world didn't end, and now he is famous and is earning more money than before 

doing what he loves!

6) 1) A 13-year-old girl - She didn't want to die being virgin. So, she looked for her cousin to "help" her 

with her situation. Oh, well... now she is pregnant and the world didn't end!
