There has yet to be a human to survive a span of history without at least one end of the world.
Throughout history, every individual has encountered various apocalyptic events or societal breakdowns, reflecting a persistent theme in human experience. This notion is encapsulated in Jonathan Safran Foer's book, "Everything Is Illuminated," highlighting that no person has lived a life untouched by such monumental crises.
These end-of-world scenarios, whether literal or metaphorical, shape human narratives and perspectives. They serve as reminders of the fragility of civilization and the resilience required to navigate through life's uncertainties, emphasizing the resilience that continues to define humanity.
