Acid aside, may the defining essence of 2007 be that of meaningful sacrifice; that of giving up all which lessens you by taking on those things that demand of you.

its a nice idea, that of meaningful sacrifice - but i wouldn't necessarily agree with the "taking on those things that demand of you" part.
many times, the things that demand of you are really not so important - but they are still demanding. and if you give in to them all the time, it becomes a habit, which - in effect - "lessens you" by draining you.
so, nice idea, but i wouldn't apply it in *all* situations. discretion is required.
sacrifice is good - its better to give than receive; there's more reward in it :)
by saying, "demand of you", i mean those things that will challenge you, push you to go beyond yourself and in doing so, make more of you.
:) happy new year Yacoob.
