Time to evolve? 2012

Professor Barnhardt: So it was only when your world was threated with destruction that you became what you are now.
Klaatu: Yes.
Professor Barnhardt: Well that's where we are. You say we're on the brink of destruction and you're right. But it's only on the brink that people find the will to change. Only at the precipice do we evolve. This is our moment. Don't take it from us, we are close to an answer.

I thought this quote from 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' very resonating with my view of 2012 and the way the world seems to be going.

There are so many bad things going on in the world, will we evolve beyond it?
I really think we will, I've noticed many synchronicities lately as well as many people talking about such things. People are becoming very much aware of what's going on in the world. I think people just have to ignore all the fear mongering that will appear as we near 2012.
