Tradition of Resolutions
The new year means different things to many people. For some, it’s a fresh start, a clean slate, to improve on all the faults they made the previous year. Whether this be errors in personality, failures in goals such as achieving a certain academic or personal result, or others’ hopes to achieve something new, such as reading more books, talking to more people, or eating less processed foods. No matter what the goal is, it is simply people’s hopes for the following year. Now, like all goals, it is easier said than done.
The key of achieving resolutions
While much of these hopes seem pointless to make by the way described, “for they must never come to frution” it must be thought, the truth is the key that is needed for these stratagies to come true it to make the goals realistic, for the staple of most traditions which is the gym, the truth is the idea that a person can maintain a schedual of every other day a week is a fallacy. The willpower of most will not allow it; perhaps, if it were reduced to a week, it could be beyond the realm of dreams. Which is what the argument here is about: keep them simple. Don’t eat junk food? If a person has the will to achieve this for an entire year in this industrialized society, then they must be applauded and awarded. The truth is, eliminating junk food is like plunging into an ice bath, not feasible for most.
No Hope?
Does this state of mind mean that holding onto the hope of change is pointless and should be forgotten? No. The point of this is not to diminish the hopes of many, but to point them in the right direction of feasibility, yet the words of a writer should not deter someone from trying to reach across the sea, to the point that the only thing that can be said is fly far, Icarus.
