Beginnings I just do not get the New Year celebrations, you know!! I just don't get it. What are all these people thinking, when they say "hey, the bad year is gone, the new year is gonna be great!!", maybe they actually believe it for like two days in the new year, before... the next new year's eve.

I think I know what it is, we humans love beginnings when the slate is wiped clean, we really do! We believe that at the beginning of a new year, all activities of the past year are wiped out and consigned to the history section. I can almost see a convict on the dock saying to the judge, "Last year, I murdered two people, ate 15000 calories extra, dumped my wife, but hey, its the new year. The old year is gone, I am in the clear, I am at the beginning again, I get another chance".  ¶ 11:27 AM
