New Year. What does it means to you?

Every new year eve, millions of people will go out from their home regardless how cold and dark the night was to gather and witness the new year celebration. Many events held to entertain the crowd. Millions spent by the government to buy fireworks and burned to show their excitements that a new year has come.


Strangely though, I didn't feel excited at all. I dont even bother to go out nor to see the new year count down on TV. This makes me wonder what is the meaning of new year to other? So I asked my friends this question through YM. Some had kindly replied my question, thanks. Some of the replies that I could remember:

To begin a new life!

One year closer to death.

Just another year

I don't know. Tell me.

I don't really see the point why must we choose particular time to start a new life. You can do it today, tomorrow or whenever you want! New year, is just another year anyway. If you use another calendar you would have it at different time, aint it.

For me, I'm not quite sure what is the meaning of the year 2008. Perhaps I will find it through my journey of life during this year. At least achieve first class, inshallah.

I think why people love New Year is, hope. The hope to make a change. Make a better life. Overcoming problems in the past etc. Hope keeps human spirit to be alive.
