When a place of peace, like a café in Sydney, Australia, becomes a place of terror, we learn the lesson of the last millennium. At no time in the past thousand years was the planet free of war, violence, and anger. A thousand years! War, violence, and anger everyday somewhere on the planet! Three hundred sixty-five times 1,000 years! That’s 365,000 consecutive days of war, violence and anger, not everywhere all the time, but here and there all the time.
What have we been thinking? One little planet with the only species we know of that can actually think about purpose, and the planet is a continuous war zone. Is war, violence, and anger the human purpose?
You are reading this, so, in a way, you are special. The last thousand years of war, anger, and violence closed the trail of heredity for many families. Somehow, your line survived. So, here you are at the beginning of the next thousand years. In a sense, even without your accomplishing much, you are special just by virtue of being here, on Earth, at this time.
Will your hereditary trail end sometime in the next 365,000 days? Road closed, not temporarily, but permanently closed: It has happened before, and the process shows no sign of changing. Some people went to a trendy café in Sydney in the middle of December, 2014, maybe just for a cup of coffee. Not all of them walked out. Seems that no one learns the lesson of the past millennium or the millennia before that.
But you are here, and that makes you special. You might be able to change the next millennium.
