Is it really that much fun to predict the end?
For those who engage in it, it's not necessarily fun, but rather a divine/sacred/prophetic behavior, and those behaviors aren't likely to fall out of style anytime soon.
  • "And how is it, bhikkhus, that by protecting oneself one protects others? By the pursuit, development, and cultivation of the four establishments of mindfulness. It is in such a way that by protecting oneself one protects others.

    "And how is it, bhikkhus, that by protecting others one protects oneself? By patience, harmlessness, goodwill, and sympathy. It is in such a way that by protecting others one protects oneself.
