How Useful Or Useless Are New Year Resolutions? by Amodsun(m): 11:10pm On Jan 03, 2014 |
Every new year, people come up with their resolutions, proclaiming to turn a new leaf (this new year, imma quit smoking; imma move closer to God (this one is so on the regular. lol); I’ll be good, no more promiscuity (wash of life); I will be this, I will be that… blah blah blah ) and first opportunity, when the solidity of the resolution is tested, people fail! Why do you/they(noticed the absence of “we”,well, NYRs are for you mortals, writer obviously not included) feel the need to make these decisions. Why do you feel that changing or rectifying a unit/part of your life is advantageous to you? How do you measure the success or not of such NYRs like planning on being closer to God; who said drinking is wrong(some would refer to the wedding at Cana as a reason to drink, the water to wine miracle; and no, I don’t drink). So many people with their resolutions, some may have up to 20 things they want to change about themselves. Do you not even stop to wonder why they are so much? Don’t you think it might be because these things are your fundamental psyche make- ups; the things that define who you are. I understand that we all want to change for the better and that we are so much excited about the new year and what it holds for us but I also believe it is a grand scam and a waste of time to expend so much time on decisions based on an abstract thing. The only thing new is the day. The fall of night and the break of dawn; those are the real indicators of the passage of time. New year, new month, new week are all abstract. So, if you are making decisions on how to live your life, make it daily; one day at a time. As an aside, I am trying to understand this new craze for re-spelling things. Now, I understand the abbreviations that is the domain of cyber chat. Where “to” is “2″, gtg, brb, etc exist but what’s with the “tew” for “to”, “fenk” for “thanks”. Sometimes enof isn’t enough.(Did you see what I just did there?! My awesomeness sometimes surprises me). Have you a good life |
