My Blue Heaven

It feels as it was yesterday when we were waiting for new millennium - 1999 suddenly became 2000. Everybody was still alive, and there was no doomsday, all 0 and 1 were still up and running.

10 years after that, (some of us) are still alive. First decade of 21st century was officially over, and we immersed ourselves into second decade, which everybody hopes will be better.

We've had doomsdays in last decade, and it is hard to say who is crazier in this world, 'democratic' west, or 'terrorist' (middle) east.

We lost John Paul II, Syd Barret, Marlon Brando, Richard Wright. And many others. Everybody remembers someone who left us. Good thing is that we still remember some of them.

Analyst and journalist and everybody else who likes various lists talk about last 10 years - Top 10 events of the decade, Top 10 scandals of the decade, Top 10 business news of the decade, Top 10 movies of the decade.....Easy search on any search engine can give you all these lists - and some of them are quite intelligent.

However, all of that is quite boring. Big question is what did you do during last decade, and during last year to feel better, and to make things better? Not for yourself though - that's an easy one - we love ourselves, of course - I don't have any doubts that everyone did as much as they could to elevate themselves to the top of food chain.

Bigger question is what did you do for everyone else, what did you do for this world?

We could go back to 2000, and 2001, and 2002, and 2003, and 2004, and 2005, and 2006, and 2007, and 2008, and 2009, to find and to discover if we did anything. That could be useful, as it would help to perhaps redefine some targets in new decade.

However, that belongs to the past.

What are you personally going to do for this world in next 10 years?

Are you going to take for granted everything that you have, and everything that you are used to? Imagine world in which only once in 10 years you could see the stars on the sky. What would you do on that night when stars would be visible?

What are you willing to sacrifice for your (and all other) children?

What will happen in next 10 years?

Are you going to be selfish?

Are you going to become part of "One"?

Are you at least going to think about it?

What are you going to do to understand the world, to become aware?

Are you going to choose an easy way?

What is your Blue Heaven going to be?
