—Lao Tzu
Depending upon where you are in the world when the Solar Eclipse takes place you might see it as a bad omen or a sign of good fortune.
Many of the myths surrounding the Solar Eclipse are that of misfortune. Several cultures believed that an animal was eating the sun because the gods were angry at those down below. Yet, in Italy, the lore is that flowers planted during the Solar Eclipse are the brightest of all. So, it isn’t all doom and gloom. (Source)
It is merely a matter of perspective. Just because it seems as though it is the “end of the world” doesn’t mean it is. It can be a whole new beginning if you look at it right.

Randy Cassingham is best known as the creator of This is True®, the oldest entertainment feature on the Internet: it has been running weekly by email subscription since early 1994. It is social commentary using weird news as its vehicle so it’s fun to read. Click here for the site — basic subscriptions are free.
Comments? Sorry: Facebook retired their commenting system (they didn’t even bother to alert me). Just as well, I suppose, but sadly there is no way to recover the many hundreds of comments made on this site. Lesson learned: never rely on someone else’s site for prime functions, especially “social media”!
Since this site is mostly retired now (maximum of one new post per month), I did decide that since all comments are now gone that I would not attempt to install any new commenting system. -rc
