Having Hope in 2020 and being positive about 2021!

Today, I will be telling you some interesting facts about NOSTRADAMUS and his predictions.

Nostradamus was a french astrologer and physician in the 1500s. Media has got us all hooked to the news that he has been right about his predictions from the very start. He predicted the two world wars, 9/11 attacks and even this pandemic. And further predicted about a zombie apocalypse. But wait, THERE IS A CATCH.

1-- Nostradamus' predictions were used as World War II's propoganda

YES, things were the other way around. Nostradamus' predictions had something to do with Germany losing a battle and it was used by some man in power to his advantage. He printed thousands of pamphlets with Nostradamus' prediction on it and had airplanes drop them all over Germany stating that they were bound to lose. All this to boost the Americans' morale.

Its like this-- Suppose you watch a horoscope telling you "that you would be getting into trouble today so carry a knife with you." Resultantly, you do carry a knife along and are stopped and investigated for carrying a knife at a high security place and you get into trouble.

He might be predicting or not, people are surely getting ideas on how to destroy humanity. The russian zombies, for example.

2-Nostradamus' predictions are vague and can befit any situation or calamity

His predictions are written in poetic lines and are vaguely described. Its like this-- Suppose he wrote " a fire in the blue sea must arise and humankind will be dust". Now, people can connect it to anything, really. Evidently, if anything happens and anything causes damage in any ocean or sea-- it can be related to this prediction. Further, calamities always casue destruction to humankind, so that is a given.

If none of us can actually understand any of his predictions until they happen, it is apparent that we use the present to justify his vague predictions.

To convince you further, In reality, the word 'Queen' has been related to 'Corona' along with many other unjustified translations which means that anything can mean anything if you are imaginative enough.

I am not here to turn you against Nostradamus or the media or anything in particular. I just felt that people constantly saying that his predictions are true and we are all doomed for eternity can only make us lose hope. They might turn out to be true, but they might not, he was only human. I found some articles regarding the lack of credibility in his predictions and I found these points to make a lot of sense. He was not very famous with his counterparts because they believed he wasn't a legit astrologer. He bacame famous, courtesy, a queen who wanted to know her childrens' future. He has also written a cookbook and one of its contents was --" a love jam, made from mandrake apples, sparrows' blood and eyelets from the arms of an octopus among other strange things. The love jam would be so powerful that it would induce "a burning of her heart to perform the love-act" when the concoction combined with saliva in the midst of a kiss!" Isn't that fishy? He was also expelled from a couple of medical schools.

You might say that I am doing this only because I am living in denial. I would not say yes, but I believe that it is a sincere attempt from my side to give ourselves some sort of assurance. People like me, are sometimes weak hearted and we need a little something to soothe us. I should also add, that none of these things are false and I believe no one can really predict what might just happen.

(and if you really do believe him, he pridicted the end of humanity in 3700s, so lets chill and have a soda and stay positive!)

Sending good vibes. XO
