Age of Aquarius the New Age?

There's a certain something that can be gained from helping another human being. I say human being rather than person because people don't listen. But human beings feel. We each live in this world. We set goals, struggle, achieve and learn lessons the hard and easy ways. That's life.

It is amazing to me that there is still a struggle for equal rights. Specially, in this day and age. We are in the Age of Aquarius according to some (2000AD). Others would say the Age is still coming: arrival dated 2070 AD or late arrival dated 2600AD. That's a big jump. So the question becomes are we in the time leading up to or are we there yet? Peace protests, civil rights protests, immigration protests...this speaks of world citizens that are unhappy with their current conditions. And with good reasons: war, poverty, hunger, rape, murder, disease, natural disasters, man-made disasters, and let's not forget terrorism of and by individuals, cartels, and governments.

It's no wonder people are finding faith a needed thing. The beliefs differ, but no one sees that the similarity lies in the simple fact that there are beliefs. The New Age has brought about an individual's ability to seek out religious beliefs that best suit the individual. There are more ways to believe and more ways to express one's self. These ideas could lead one to think that the Age of Aquarius has begun. But perhaps the raise in faith comes from the raise in negative aspects clouding the world. Faith, a positive answer to the negativity abundant in the catastrophes plaguing modern existence?
