I mean I guess- but 2017 is coming to a close (possibly already done for some people??) and now we have a whole new year of possibilities to look forward toLife is a bitch and things are only going to get worse, so have fun while you still can.
They'll still be living the same life unless they force a change on them self just to please themselves and the people around them, the only difference is the yearI mean I guess- but 2017 is coming to a close (possibly already done for some people??) and now we have a whole new year of possibilities to look forward to
I totally agree about that, but it’s possible to use the new year as a psychological reprogramming so even though the same amount of time has gone by, it feels like you can drop everything that happened in 2017 and begin working in a new year. And all good changes are only for the ones making them; celebrating the new year is more of an inspiration to do more productive things and reach your personal goals (like learning an instrument, traveling somewhere new, etc)They'll still be living the same life unless they force a change on them self just to please themselves and the people around them, the only difference is the year
It's just a year, and they're still the same person they are
You can't really escape the past so "New year, new me!" doesn't mean much because you're still the same person, just in a different year
It may be an inspiration to be more productive, but I can't agree that it's a chance to start over or that it's a reset button.I totally agree about that, but it’s possible to use the new year as a psychological reprogramming so even though the same amount of time has gone by, it feels like you can drop everything that happened in 2017 and begin working in a new year.

Nono I didn’t mean it like that. But for some people it can be used as one (which is different); you always have the ability to do a complete 180 or change your life in some way, it’s just that New Years is a holiday dedicated to making those changes.It may be an inspiration to be more productive, but I can't agree that it's a chance to start over or that it's a reset button.
That depends on the person, they can force changes on their persona armoire but they're still the same person. Sure, people dedicate the new year transition to making changes, though that's not the whole point; new years eve was originally a day just marked in the Gregorian calender to track the transition of the new year, it's not a "new" opportunity to try new things because you've had the opportunity your entire life time and you still have it now, and it's not a reset button, it's just a new year, it's completely up to the person when they want to start something new but people only make the biggest deal about it as soon as the newest year starts.Nono I didn’t mean it like that.

Could we take this to private chat if that’s ok with you? I don’t want to argue and I’m really interested in what you have to say, I just don’t want my topic flooded with huge paragraphs on the origin and meaning of new years lolThat depends on the person, they can force changes on their persona armoire but they're still the same person.
