i would like to think the empire will end but it seems impossible to imagine how, other than global catastrophe, which is not impossible to imagine happening as it seems to be, so ok, it will end and it won't go without building up a hell of a conflagration, but i would like to not even think about this empire or that ending, or even wish for peace beyond my wildest dreams, i'd like to believe that it all is intended to be the way it is because it is and any other possibility is impossible for now.
