ADDENDA
By common agreement, it is now the 21st century; it is now the third millennium. It has been a long road, no doubt a tiresome trek to many. And yet, it all appears to have gone by in the blink of an eye. There is a sense of foreboding, as we continue treading towards whatever is waiting for us ahead along our journey. For it is none other than our future that awaits us, our destiny. We may all have an appointment which we are expected to keep; if not us, then those generations who will follow in our footsteps, unless we exercise the ultimate power to annihilate ourselves, obliterating our History and our accomplishments, our legacy, and our progeny from the face of the Universe, a mistake that may not be repeated again here in this planet if it ever comes to that. Hopefully, at the stage we have now reached in our cultural evolution, we will all heed the warnings we were given by George Santayana, finally learning and applying the painful lessons we have learned from the past so we will not be doomed to repeat them.
It is the sincere hope of the author of this book that its reading may have brought to his readers some new ideas and perspectives upon our place in the Universe and the role we all play and will be destined to play in the dawn of this third millennium and what is yet to come.
Any comments, suggestions, and required correction of any typographical errata that may have been found in the pages of this book, would be most welcome by the author, who would very much appreciate receiving feedback from his readers at the following e-mail address:
armando.martinez.mx@gmail.com
Last, but not least; in order to make this book and its message accessible to everybody, it is being distributed free of charge, and the author is not requesting nor is expecting nor is accepting any type of compensation for his work. For any readers out there who may fell some need to provide any such compensation, the author will be more than satisfied if any intended compensation or its equivalent is given instead to any of our brethren who are in need of help, be it some neighbor nearby facing a troublesome situation, some orphan who has never known the warmth of a loving home, or one of the many ill and destitute human beings who are sharing with us this global village we call planet Earth; for it is in such cases where we will find much greater joy in giving than in receiving.
