From what I gather some people do. Do you wish the end was near so that it would end all the senseless suffering around the world, like starvation in Africa and violence in Asia and the Middle East? Do you wish the end was here for a selfish reason, like maybe your life is not so great?
OR...
Do you hope that the end times are not close at all? Do you enjoy your life and want to keep enjoying it? Is this selfish with all the suffering that could be ended? Or do you think the end times are so bad you would not wish that upon the world at this time?

Naturally I wish that the end will come tomorrow. But of course we must not be selfish. If the Lord still want us to work here because He saw there are still a few souls who are not ready and need our warnings, then we should be happy to do His will despite the sufferings and inconvenience or even persecutions.
The Bible says that the reason why His promised coming seems to be delayed is because He is longsuffering and that He does not want to see anyone perish if it is still possible to save him.
knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, 6 by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. 7 But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us,[b] not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
The Day of the Lord
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.[c] 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

I think the world has a lot to offer. It is not as dreary and cold as many people would lead you to believe it is. Ofcourse there is poverty and the starving, but I see no point to end it by taking away lives.
I hope the human race continues to exist and evolve for as long as possible.

I do not wish the end was near. I do not believe a word of Revelations anyway.
I hope that mankind can find peace and help end the suffering.

The end of humanity will come about through religion. However, this end can be avoided if the Atheists can colonize another planet before the religious people kill them for not believing as they do.

I'm enjoying life. It is a learning experience and hopefully I'll live long enough to have made a difference in this world.

I wouldn't want it to end now because I haven't experienced sex yet. I do need some more time. Maybe after 5 years of marriage.

I think life is great. I do not understand these Evangelical Christians and their end of times mentality.

Of course not. I love life.
Anyways, it will be a few million years before the Sun melts the Earth. We could kill ourselves off earlier, and that will probably be the fault of people hoping that there's life after death.
