Oh, the humanity! How we eagerly embrace each new year, with its vast hopes and possibilities… yet, all the while, how we utterly wreck each passing year with so many wars, crisis and widespread disgrace. I suppose that’s just the way of life, and furthermore it should be kept in mind that as long as we mantain perspective, there’s always good and bad things to every year. Well, now that 2009 is just around the corner, maybe the time is due for some reflection on what went wrong this year, and what should go right in the next one.
