Why do we tend to celebrate the beginning of a new year, every year? Why not celebrate the beginning of a new month, every month? Is it because the time gap between one year and the next is greater, hence ur ability of accomplishing more? If so, then why not celebrate every other leap year? That oughta' give u a whole lot of time to accomplish pretty much anything u want to (within legitimate grounds that is)...
I think the tendency of mankind to set goals and strive to fulfill them is embedded within each and every one of us, regardless of the exact amount of time passing by... So why stop, every year, only to mark the beginning of yet another one? why is it always one year, in particular.. nuthing more n' surely nuthing less?
Don't get me wrong, the celebrations are truly lovely... Im merely questioning their underlying reasons...
A realization of mine.. actually i have long ago realized such, but it recently clarified... there are some that are completely narrow-minded and shallow in regards to their needs and desires... they fail to realize the bigger picture, the one that lies beyond these constricted horizons of theirs..
They fail to realize the finer aspects of life..
If ur a decent being inside and outside, the rest is like a dominoes set... everything else will eventually fall into place... the pieces will fit together and complement one another...
Time has already set everything in place... as we progress, it begins to reveal to us the flipside of the cards it has dealt... each one of us is drawn a separate deck...
Many fail to acknowledge this and tend to overdo themselves, second-think their actions, and at times may even doubt their very being...
Happy new year, I truly wish u well.

i gave up one new years and resolutions and all that jazz =\
I am baaack! :)
Happy New Year!
But for me of course it's just another depressing year :)
Ah, Desmond, life is just a pointless cycle of ups and downs. No matter how hard you try to scale up, you get to the pitfalls that make you stop and wonder whether where you are heading is worth it. Alas, I cannot say more as the topic was written in my blog but was not published. And, my body aches from the hours I spent in the gym today. I will post that piece soon.
I don't do New Year's either.
I find the concept of "New Year's" resolutions fairly overrated, as well. For those who wouldn't make any resolutions otherwise, it's probably necessary. But for the general human population, resolutions of any size, shape or form, CAN and SHOULD be made at whatever day when the need arises.
P.S:- Hope you're doing well! :)
dandoon: u gave them up becuz u never fulfill them? wala becuz u dont bileev in them nemore?
disturbed stranger: why hello there u lil' complicated Missy;)
eschew: ur right.. nd those pitfalls force us to recall, ultimately leading to us mastering our many doings.
u do just that;)
Manutdfanatic: my sentiments exactly. although i wud like to reciprocate that 'hope' of urz, a tad bit more though:)
I wish u the best year ever babe! ;* And many more gr8 new years to come. Oo wela yihimich, we'll have a celebration at the beginning of every month and we'll set up new month resolutions ba3ad! ;P
I proposed on this New Year's Eve, and she said yes, so we can celebrate something about it from now on (that was not the reason).
Shousha: nd i guarantee u a splendid one as well, this year it's full throttle till' the very end;p
Dr.Shale: Oh the doc.'s engaged, who wud've 'thunk' it? many congrats shale, it was a happy new year's on ur end indeed;)
Interesting intro, I loved the profound realization.
It seems that people need their share of second chances, the choice to start over again and finish what’s been neglected and unfinished.
What better time to seek such redemption other than the beginning of a new year.
Touche: Change is a necessity beyond doubt. It's impossible to reverse time and alter your doings, but wht u can do is learn how to cope and adapt to its aftermath. And should that happen at the beginning of a new year, then so be it... just as long as u have designated a certain time and psychologically set ur mind to do so.
Hope all's well on ur end.
