The Prometheus Papers indicated it would eventually be a cherished human custom to wear blue every Friday to honor all who had come before, all who were alive in the present, and all who would come after. Driven by curiosity, people began wearing blue to see what would happen. They hoped the future described in The Papers would come to pass and needed a way to signal others who shared that hope.
As the practice took off, knowing grins and nods were exchanged in passing. Total strangers spread confidence as you would use one candle to light a hundred. Hope flourished and courage followed. The name given to those who participated: The Blue Shirts.
It was easy to wear blue passively going about usual business, but it became especially popular for those actively protesting for peace and human rights. The crowds resembled the sea, the sky, and others like them all around the world. They were the helpers. The Blue Shirts recognized their duty to leave humanity, and the world, better than they found it in whatever way possible.
Because The Papers first appeared in English, Blue Shirt volunteers would translate and spread them as they saw fit. They discussed The Papers and ultimately decided if the future described was the one they actually wanted.
