THE NEW YEAR

Its January 1st, 2012. My dad died four years ago today, and he was the
last of his generation in our family. I miss him, like I miss my mom who
died 3 years before him. But as we all march towards our own end, we are
looking at a year that for many brings big questions.
What about 12-21-12 and the end of the world. The alignment of our
planets with the center of our galaxy. The Mayans said it, so we should
all believe it. It truly amazes me what we believe, and what we spend
our whole lives trusting in. Two things that I do know, on 12-22-12

1. 40% of 250 will still be 100

2. The firs derivative of 5X³ will be 15X²

Math will not change, 1 will still be less than 3, and ∏ will be a
transcendental number 3.14159265. . .. Here we are on this tiny
little planet, in a universe of billions of galaxies, in a galaxy of
billions of stars, and most of us believe that we are the most
intelligent in the universe, and that one "god" did it all. Many of
us spend our entire life worrying about the next life time, when
we need to get along in this life time, and are not doing such
a great job.
I am not saying that we should not have our beliefs, but they
should not destroy our ability to get along with each other.
So as this year begins, let us strive to get along better, and
recognize what must be true, and spend less time debating
what might be true.
