How Useful Or Useless are New Year Resolutions?!

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!
