The only real difference for our world in the changing of years is age. Each of us, as we are the only ones who pay attention to the change of annums, is the calendar of aging. Last I noted, ducks pay no attention unless they sense the barometer falling or the weather changing. (I once knew a duck and his family so we spoke a great deal about this).
The unfortunate thing for humans is that we don’t change a damn bit. To celebrate any New Year is an excuse for nothing more than excess. I do like to get down to brass tacks, don’t I? Actually, I spent a lot of decades going along with all the prattle about the change of years. Perhaps this is why I was born? Due to a New Years celebration?
Well, you may think I am rather dumb and you won’t be the first. Hell, I spent a lot of years proving I was dumb. The thing about dumb is that it is the lowest denominator of human existence. Dumb is not to be trifled with! In other words, Oppenheimer was reputed to be of supreme intelligence but he invented, with a few others, the atomic bomb. That kind of changed the formula for dumb, don’t you think?
I am now one year older with or without the new year. Nothing changed except the weather. It got colder and I got older but not by a year. I got older by just a few months. Each month since the New Year I have thanked God for not having a hangover any more. One might suppose that practicality is more in play as I have aged. Then again and speaking of “Old Year,” I do hope the new one is better for you if you practice the worshiping of calendars. I know, very few do any longer, except the Druids. As usual, I digress but, hey, this is what I do best.
