The world will not die with a bang, but with a whisper. I believe that this soft Fork while it solved many problems, basically since people up for hard Forks in the future. Basically, you get people past the first soft Fork, build up a lot of fear, and then show them there was nothing to be afraid of. Then, after a little more time is past. You start issuing a few more soft Fork here and there.
It is right that nothing happening with the world to destroy completely and may be the expected fork solved many problems in future for a smooth run of bitcoin in the market. We should have to keep hope for better of the future. Why we consider that the fork will be hard, may be it is soft. For the time being sorrow may not cause for complete disappointment.
