Re: The Apocalypse Is Upon Us
One type of apocalypse, that has been going on for decades, are suicides, one million a year; one "Oslo", our capital, every year, thinking worldwide. Scandinavia has a hight rate, (doctors are highest btw)
One should think that these would happen in the darkest time of the year.
- they did a survey on it; and the time of year when suicide hit the most, summer, when it was most light of the year.
Least occurence of suicides; darkest time of the year.
Even was the time of year when the light / darkness are equal; the Equinox, this was as survey done 20-30 years ago, so I doubt there are referances to it on the net.
I learned this at school, we discussed why. The conclusion was that the light time of year create a greater polarity to what you feel inside, the darkness inside has to meet light so to speak (and the social expectations about what to do when it is light outside vs the time of darkness, you can sit inside, hibernate and it is accepted)
A similar study from Greenland, but not the Equinox;
