New Year: period or illusion?
New Year means New Life, New Resolutions, New Everything.
Has it always been a periodical timeline in a human’s lifetime calendar to actually start over a "new" year?
Since when do we celebrate a "new" beginning of a pre-existed cycle?
Do people set up "new" resolutions to fill up their to-do baskets early on, because of our pre-conditioned lifestyle of autonomous mechanisms?
If the true purpose of those "resolutions" are truly to resolve previous errors and wrong-doings, why do we have to wait until the "new" year and not start over this very minute, this very exact second of reality?
Is "new" year an actual period that human needs to mark as the beginning of a new cycle, which would allow them to eliminate past misfortunes to reach a higher state of existence? Or is it simply an illusion of stepping stones, where one ahead is not too much different from the one behind?
Whereas some people like to see life as a jigsaw of black and white, I’d prefer the abstract blend of shades of gray.
Happy New Year, may all be merry and wise.

gk perlu harus menunggu setahun donk untuk nge fix what we did wrong. U can start anytime!. I think new year is like the end of the chapter before go to new chapter, where u have to do like review or something of what u had learnt, been learning, n what u wanna achieve later on . isnt it how kita belajar? (kayak buku aja haha). is just that human has created this 12 months or 356 days (kayak halaman buku hehe from a long time ago untuk to end n review all our stuffs togather (i mean whole world not just you hehe) to start a new beginning. except if u wanna make new one for your self? u can! hehe. (well kalo we can celebrate the end of the year, hmm itu berarti we arent here anymore :p
