So the Mayan calendar is ending today... so does that mean it is going to be the end of the world?
Maybe we will freeze to death... it is, after all, the winter solstice. We are furthest from the sun today.
The Chinese calendar loops every 60 years. Things are a cycle. I think the Mayans also treat life as a cycle, and the end of the calendar is the start of a new one. Only when we view things as a linear progression (instead of as a cycle) will we start to panic when things are coming to an end.
So is life a cycle, or a straight line?
