Happy New Year.

Here I am still waiting for the clock to strike 12 and the New Year to begin. All over the world people are happy and celebrating the New Year. Some have already celebrated the new year and are on the first day of 2013 and some like us are still waiting. I see all the celebrations and I wonder what is it that makes the New Year Happy? Why is the new year happy? What is happy about the new year? Nothing has changed...just the hour and the date on the calendar.
Poor people are still poor, wars are still on going, there is still inflation, global warming, food and fuel shortages and it is business as usual. If the new year was magical and if really and truly on Jan 1st things would all be better like someone waved a magic wand, then it will be a real Happy New Year.
It would be like a reset button. On every first of the year everything is fine and all is well and everyone is really happy and we the people are given one more chance. Our mistakes are forgiven, damage done by us humans is undone and we are given another chance to get things right...only then the new year will truly be a Happy New Year. A new beginning every year. If New Year is not magical and does not bring true happiness and peace in the world, then all this celebration and fake happiness doesn't make any sense. It is just another day on the calendar, only the year has changed telling you that there is one less year in your life to make things right... One less year of your stay in this world...what is happy about that?
