The ability to foresee the future lies within us all.
Regrettably, we often conceal this ability out of fear of being perceived as different.
The year 2011 is poised to witness some of the most significant climatic shifts in history.
We will experience record-breaking earthquakes, the driest and wettest spells ever recorded, together with high winds and substantial snow drifts, all followed by torrential rain and flooding.
Scandals will tarnish politicians, and Royals will endure a year marked by sorrow. Furthermore, Pop and Film stars will persist in their reckless behaviors while drugs will once again take lives. We may lose some of our most talented actors from our screens.
Controlling flu strains will prove challenging. However, there will be remarkable medical advancements, particularly concerning cancer and life-threatening ailments. This year will also see exciting developments in climate control, especially related to vehicles and emissions.
The collective goodwill of many will enhance awareness regarding the dire threats facing children in today’s society. Financial resources and legal reforms will enable the tracking and prosecution of criminals targeting the youth.
Sports will showcase superstars achieving astounding new records, while television will experience a resurgence in entertainment, steering clear of reality shows.
Debates around same-sex marriage may provoke violent reactions and backlash against religions. A notable surprise awaiting Christianity later in the year will strengthen faith in God.
Russia will collaborate with Western nations to strive for peace in the Middle East, though danger and anger may prove difficult for communication to mitigate.
While the recession persists, a resolution appears on the horizon, aided by China in managing market excesses.
Throughout the coming year, we can anticipate great achievements and unexpected events, yet overall, we can find happiness in health improvements.
Let us hope for peace, especially if politicians can maintain a conservative stance.
Do remember to lend a hand to the children.
