people are celebrating a holiday with no significance whatsoever, and a lot dont notice how tickled pink i am watching them celebrate midnight and turn it into an orgy of pointless festivity. as for those defending it as an occasion of reflection and resolution, it is a good explanation as to how slowly people in general learn from their mistakes and change for the better, if they recognize them at all, if they wait until the end of each year to resolve to fix few if any of many faults and flaws.
but as long as there is a predetermined occasion for this sort of thing, i resolve to be less critical of others, and perhaps more of myself. i say a lot of half-assed things, usually involving condemning people not much worse than myself. ill make it a point not to apologize for my judgement of people, because im usually right, i think, and it would give me a lot less stress if i didnt expect so much of people, and especially from myself. i just realized that i am myself, human, a few days ago when i lost my cousins cell phone. what an ass.
