Calendars are human inventions for convenience rather than accurate measures of time. Therefore, in my view, celebrating the New Year is more symbolic than meaningful.” “Time does not renew us—only intention does. And for intention, we do not have to wait for a New Year.”
I do not see much meaning in sending New Year wishes or engaging in celebrations, because a change in the calendar does not promise life, renewal, or continuity. People who wished “Happy New Year” have died in the very next moment, reminding us that time does not pause for dates or ceremonies. Life does not reset at midnight, and meaning does not arrive with a new number on the calendar. What truly matters is intention, awareness, and the way we live each ordinary day—none of which requires a New Year to begin.
