We can think of the end of the world 
in a number of ways. 
Apocalypse is one way to do it.
Drop enough atomic weapons,
creating a "nuclear winter" 
and all life would cease to exist,
ending the world for all living things.

An esoteric could end the world 
for her-or-him-self
by taking a vow of silence and poverty
and closing themselves off from all 
association with the world of social interaction.

We could end the world by limiting or stopping
our primary associations with the world as we know it.

We could identify certain aspects of life in the world
which we decide to no longer engage in
and effectively ending the world we lived in yesterday
by going on a diet, say, and starting life in a new world today.

"The end of the world" can be a metaphor,
and it can be an event.

What are some of the ways the world as you know it
need to end for you?
What are some of the ways the world as it could be
need to begin for you?

Today is Easter Sunday.
In what ways could you "rise from the dead"
and begin living life anew?

We are familiar with the phrase "Turning over a new leaf."
We could also think about transforming our life 
by living in a new world.

People do it all the time.
