Throw Me A Blanket
3 more days till the year is over! ......Too enthusiastic. 3 more days till the year is over....... Hmmm. Too depressive. 3 more days till the year is over. Perfect.When it comes to the last few days, most people fuss over the same old thing: "Celebration". I think I have left that stage behind a while back. Yes, no doubt (bias description of a typical scene) the whole idea of being part of the sweaty and icky crowd, standing in the middle of somewhere spectating the dives and dances of the fireworks and not forgetting the counting down to yet another year sounds all exciting...But is that all there is to it? That's it? That's how the year is going to end?For some funny reason, I have made the decision to refrain myself from celebrating the year. Instead, I would take the eve to perhaps, quietly commemorate, reflect on the pivotal moments and if ever celebration should be done, it'd be just with a smile. Why? 'Cause I feel that there were many things that had happened from the first of January 2007, whether in my life or the life of others, did not deserve the opening of wine corks and clanking of glasses.New Years....in fact, should very much in fact be something...not all that celebratory. To a certain extent I'd think it should be of grievance. Think about it. Making new resolutions. The only manner of producing sincere ones is to reflect. It is that time to reminisce. To ponder and to weigh out the events in our lives and how it has affect ourselves and others. Things you could have done, could have said. Negligence. Obligations after obligations. I wonder if a piece of blank paper lies in front of you to just pen anything for the season down, what would be it. I think I'd be almost convinced the paper remains almost blank, or dare I say blank.
Throughout the year, innocent lives were robbed, racial segregation and condemnation happened, the usual political hullabaloo, natural disasters, discovery of new diseases....All too depressingly repetitive and cliche. *cue melancholic violin play*
Therefore, this year, I have chose to bewail over the bad side of things that had passed for the year.
Heresy? I know. ('',)
