Thoughts on a new year

-A +A
Why do we celebrate New Year’s Eve? Is it to forget yesterday’s wrath? Or in denial of yesterday, thinking tomorrow will be better because we have an understanding of changing it? Or is it simply an excuse to drown our emotions into nowhere, to dwell deafened on yesterday and suffering tomorrow? Are we believing we can escape our past with no repeat of it tomorrow, fooled into believing today is different than tomorrow, and missing today is today and so is the day after? And in reality, it is the same. And so are you. ALLEN Cassidy, Auburn
