Millennium - the definition

Millennium: A hoped-for period of joy, serenity, prosperity, and justice.

A millennium is usually thought of as a span of one thousand years. Or, it is thought of as a thousand-year period of holiness mentioned in Revelation 20, supposedly during which Jesus and his faithful followers are to rule on earth. The first definition given here, "a hoped-for period of joy, serenity, prosperity, and justice" is not a measurement of time, it is a measurement of people.

A millennium is the number of people needed to assure a period of joy, serenity, prosperity, and justice, however many people that may be.

Maybe it is only a thousand people. Maybe a thousand united in heart and mind are enough to make joy, serenity, prosperity, and justice prevail. But, maybe it only takes two, you and me.

I'll do my part. Please join me in this aspiration.
