Its just another day when you lost or gained. Just another hour. Just like any other regular day.
I wish there was less glamour and enthusiasm attached to it.
Its safe to be pessimistic. Is safety over rated? Is pessimism underrated? Does it not over lap with reality? Isnt reality more depressing than pessimism because of its huge overlap with the latter?
Why Do we need to move on? why can;t we just call it a day and put up our boots. Whats the point of moving on when you dont know where you are going? and more importantly why you want to go there...
Movement is just another distraction from what you need to figure out. Just another way from keeping yourself from thinking. Being busy is the perfect form of escaping from everything around you.
The way I see it, New year's is just another milestone in your life.A time to check if your affairs are in order,to reflect and ponder.The reflections may not always do you much good and you still will be as lost or clueless as ever, but in the journey of life , sometimes it helps to check which station it is.
ReplyDeleteAbout the fanfare surrounding it , well there is consumerism-driven hullabaloo around most of these things.That just adds on to the pressure, to celebrate the day ! It is up to you though,to make it as big or small,loud or quiet, as you want it to be.
I know what you mean but at times the whole thing is just a load of ..... and most of stocking and reflection happens as a deadline is approaching or on B'days :) atleast thats how it is for me. but yes, its as good an excuse as any to party and get/keep in touch.
