2009 is just a random number like 2008 was and 2007 others before it. It means nothing. It has no significance. For a planet that is four billion plus years old why are we so exultant about the coming of the 2009th year? Come to think of it even four billion is just a random number. So take a deep breath and understand nothing has changed between yesterday and today.The onset of a new year may be powerfully emblematic to some but trust me it will change nothing. There is only so much that can happen in life and it is already happening everyday.
