..and so it begins, another year. It amuses me how people have lost the basic concept of life. They think they will spontaniously combust if they don't get armfuls of stuff they'll never wear/use in the after Xmas sales, they think their ungrateful children will hate them forever if they don't buy every expensive 'must have' toy that they greedily demand, they think people won't like them unless they wear this particular brand of overpriced jeans or have the latest all singing all dancing gadget! If that's how you spend every year then I pity you, you will never be happy or content if you keep letting others dictate how you should live or look, it's your life not theirs. As long as you are sensible, polite, respectful and still remember how to smile then you're fine and if people still don't accept you as you are then they're not worth even bothering about as they will only keep making you miserable.
When you strip away all the glitz and glamour, the human mess, it all boils down to the same thing, a passing of seasons, the natural world renewing itself or at least trying to, life, birth, death. All that matters is that you have shelter, food and water, and perhaps someone to spend your time with. This has been the way for millions of years and will be long after we are gone. Step back from your little tiny human box for a while and take some time to actually look at the world around you, see what really matters and what is really important before you become so swallowed up and brainwashed by the demands of this so called civilized consumer society that you lose everything that is of any real importance and it all kills you.
