<--- New Year Celebrations in Perth, Australia [if you click on the picture, you'll see a comet in the center of it!] Ah, a new year just arrived. Do you make resolutions? I don't anymore. Is there a higher rate of success if you make them on the arrival of a new year? Probably not. I'm far from perfect (is there such a ..condition?), and I think I'm usually working on a general improvement, not only particular vice! Anyway, we all should be realistic about our lives, ourselves, and the world. Try, yes, but setting too high of goals may lead to disappointment and discouragement. I also believe that small improvements can lead to big changes over time.
It's like when the scientists talk about diverting an asteroid bound to hit Earth [no, I don't know of any today, but it's happened in the past and will happen again]. They say the best way is to detect it early enough and try to change its course by the slightest degree--which means that the cumulative effect will be big enough to miss us altogether! Nice. Of course, we have to find the problem first....
One of the brightest comets to visit our neighborhood in 2007 was McNaught. What a brilliant display! Visible with the naked eye for many days, this comet circled the sun and now is heading "out."<-- Comet McNaught over California in January 2007 Do you look up, peer into the night sky in clear weather? What do you feel, what are your thoughts?...
Amazing universe. What an arrogance to assume that everything and all is about us--the universe was made just for us... But, this opens up another big subject with religious overtones and this is not the conversation I want to get into right now in the first hours of 2008.
Enjoy the new year in health and happiness.
