New (Jan. 1)

Every year we seem to celebrate the coming of the new year. Semantically it is really nothing but a new number by which we arbitrarily mark out history through time and isn't really anything new at all. It is just like every other day for that matter when the new year comes. So why are humans so excited for the new year? If it is really any other day, why are humans not this excited for everyday of the year? The word new seems to be one of those things that really catches the attention and creates desire becuase it surly means that things will be better than they used to be. In reality it seems to me that there is really only one thing that is truly new, that being the creation of a new person. A new year is really any other year. A new toy is really any other toy. A new job could be any job. But a new person is something tuly unique and never before seen. So, when you think of new, think of you and who you were created to be.
