GOOD NEWS

The book titled The Age of Homo Sapiens Sapiens: Heaven or Hell, in large part, is devoted to an examination of the darker side of human nature. The point in focusing on some of the worst aspects of human behavior is to inspire the peoples of Earth to pause, "Think" (Curtis Mayfield), pick up the pieces of a bad situation, and peacefully "Turn It Into Something Good" (Earth, Wind & Fire), that is, something akin to a "Saturn" (Stevie Wonder) type of existence.

CONTEMPORARY HUMAN ACCOLADES

And now, to switch up the tone a bit, this page takes the opposite approach to all things "bad" on Earth. This page takes a respite or break from all that is "bad" about Earth. This page offers you, the reader, some more good news. This page takes a look at some of the best aspects of human behavior. This page invites you, the reader, to get to know a roster of some rather remarkable, extraordinary, and interesting human beings. Their good works are the crown, apex, or zenith of human accomplishments. [It also should be noted that the "Olympics 2012" page of this website pays tribute to the best of human athletic achievements.]

LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED

It would be remiss of me if I didn't conclude this page with a little bit of uplifting and wholesome fun. It's time for some good vibrations. Are you ready to rock till you drop? Do you want to party like there's no tomorrow? Well, want no more. Let's get it on:

Watch (Armin Van Buuren, White Party)

Watch (ATB, Humanity)

Watch (Ferry Corsten, Radio Crash)

Watch [Nelly Furtado - Say It Right video 2009 (Electro Dance REMIX)]

Watch (DeBarge, Rhythm Of The Night)

Watch (Madonna, Everybody)

Watch (Chris Brown, Turn Up The Music)

Watch (Jennifer Lopez featuring Pitbull, On The Floor)

Watch (LMFAO featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock, Party Rock Anthem)

As long as human life exists, there remains hope for a brighter tomorrow. As long as human life exists, there remains hope for constructive change. There remains hope for the survival and prosperity of the human species. Much like the Sun shining brightly in the sky, you, too, are a "Shining Star" (Earth, Wind & Fire).

Rejoice. "Keep Your Head To The Sky" (Earth, Wind & Fire). Positivity is on the rise. Now is the time for a realization of Heaven on Earth for the living.

TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL: EARTH IS NO LONGER THE LIMIT FOR HUMANS (FROM SCIENCE FICTION TO REALITY)

The good news is an end to hatred, war, and poverty on Earth as humans peer forward into the distant future.
