So that Calendar on your wall has outworn its welcome and its time for us to roll over to the next year in the Gregorian cycle? Does this mean you’re a new fresh person filled with change and ready to greet the world anew?
No, you’re the same sum-of-all-the-things-that-occurred-before person that you were yesterday. You’ve got the same problems, the same strengths and whether you’ve promised yourself to handle them and make the self assigned penance—it will be no easier than if you had started your transformation three months ago, or six, or year or even two.
In essence you’re celebrating nothing except the passing of another day. I have to wonder why people want to celebrate it so much and make promises they have no intentions to keep.
