Thousands years ago life was quite simple - you’d take your spear, go out of the cave and kill some animal to feed your family and your tribe, and you’d probably feel quite good about yourself. Later on you would go and sleep like a righteous one, ’cause you well deserved it. Sure, there were treats out there - you could have ran into some wild, hungry and ferocious animal that just picked you for a tasty lunch. Chances were that you’d outsmart it and succesfuly escape by climbing on the nearest tree or running away from it. It was a bit trickier if a hostile tribe happen to roam around your area, but that was a risque of the trade and you had to count on it. All in all, it wasn’t too difficult to know your friend from a foe, and you pretty much had a good chance of a long and prosperous life (providing you survive a winter, of course).
The things today are far more complicated - ferocious animals disguised into corporations started to wear fine suits, calling themselves CEO’s, lawyers, businessmen and sometimes even doctors, and the members of the enemy tribe are not even sure why they’re in war with you - all they know is someone send them there to fight you for no apparent reason whatsoever.  Decapitated kings and oligarchs of yesterday invented democracy for us, so we can have a false sense of importance every now and then, before falling back into anonymity to which we belong anyway. They have also invented a state to protect us from ourselves, and put their laws in a series of really heavy books with a lots of pages, because we don’t really know what’s right and what’s wrong for us.
Whether you live or die is of no concern to anyone, cause the news are counting deaths only by hundreds, and the death of one doesn’t really make a difference. The man of the past needed to look the stars up there in the sky to feel unsignificant before the splendor of the Universe - the man of today just feels unsignificant…
If you found the above to be true, then you’re just like the most of the people, if you don’t, then you’re probably a local politician, a CEO or a lawyer. Fortunately, as a simple but powerful line from my favorite trilogy says - ‘The world is changing…’ - and that change is good. It’s not shaking mountains, nor it is destroying castles and decapitating the corrupted ones - it’s rather slowly shaping our minds towards a different future, much like the ocean that shapes the coast - you can’t really see it happen, but it’s happening… The world is being reduced by optic fibres, and the truth can be reached anywhere, and no dirty secret can be kept hidden anymore. People are starting to realize that they’re not alone, and they’re organizing in their virtual communities - their MySpaces, Facebooks and other countless social-networking groups. People from USA discover that people from Somalia like the same music they do, and a guy from Malesia found his soulmate in a girl from Norway. There are no boundaries there, no need for visas and no prejudices - people are just being what they really are - people!

The fact is that we’re witnessing this amazing change, and we have the honor to be at its source - the question is - do we know it? What should we make of it? I really don’t know, it’s up to the history to tell, but I sincerely hope we’ll not be remembered as a generation that blew up the chance to make a change. In that spirit, I’m tossing my five cents in with Hydra Aid…
