Anything new?
January 8, 2012Yes, it is a new year. For some millions. But not for all. We in the Western world and some more places are educated following the Gregorian calendar. But others have invented other calendars. But we say that this is the year of 2012. 2012 years after what? The birth of Jesus Christ? Well, not exactly as he was supposed to have his birthday on December 25 and not on January 01. So, what exactly is the meaning of new year?
And, talking about new year, anything new in your life?
When I look around I do not see so many new things. Well, there are some new technical appliances here and there, smart phones, iPads, such devices, but….
Most people are not hunting for news, they are hunting their own tails. Round and round we go, our behavior patterns much of the same. But the small kids grow up, become youngsters and remind us of our own aging processes. But there is not so much new with that.
By the way, I read in the newspapers about a big scale research project being conducted in France and England, pointing out that we lose some of our cognitive capacities when we are getting older and this declining process starts at the age of around 45. But nothing new about that either.
Anything new from your point of view?
Welcome to write something in the commentary field below!
And – Happy New Year!
