WHAT ARE WE CELEBRATING?

Happy New Year to everyone!! YEAAAYYY~~ WOHOOOOOooooOOO~~WARRRggghhhHHH~~~~


OH WAIT!
WHAT ARE YOU SO HAPPY ABOUT?
Don't get me wrong, i am not trying to give negative remarks or invoke any negative thoughts on such a wonderful occasion. My intention is to let all of us be clear about what are we actually celebrating, so that we  can have a meaningful New Year's Day.


So these questions flood into my mind,
Everybody is wishing everyone a happy new year here n there, but really what is so worth celebrating there?
What is so awesome about time  ticking in and emerging to the next year?
What is the meaning of New Year? 
Why are we so happy about it till we wanna celebrate it? 
What are we looking forward into? 
What was in the past that makes us anticipate the future? 
What is going to improve or getting better?


Then comes another moronic issue

There is this trend of celebrating New Year'd Day by spraying foams on people,these things are toxic and you can smell it in the air mixing with the stench and odor of sweaty crowds.There will be people shouting like hooligans, jumping and dancing here and there, waving flags out their their vehicles, trying to make a parade of their own but seriously,


WHERE DOES THIS STYLE OF CELEBRATION COMES FROM AND WHAT IS THE LINK BETWEEN SPRAYING FOAM ON PEOPLE'S FACE TO THE MEANING OF NEW YEAR?


These is when people get to make money by selling all these nonsense to ignorant people who wants to party of the street for multiple reasons of their own. 


Acting like hooligans is not enough, so let's spray foams on faces of people we like? WHAT?


At the end of the day, cleaners are assigned to sweep all those spray cans from Times Square all the way to Lot 10 to Pavillion, can you imagine yourself sweeping all these cans yourself?


How much tax money do we use to sweep these roads clean?
How much tax money do we use to dispose the cans safely?
How does the production and disposal of these foam spray impact the earth?
How green are we? Are we really that green after all?
All you know about green is buying green merchandise and using bags that write "I am not plastic?"
Is that all?
Is that what we are?
Is that who we are?
