為什麼新年要慶祝？要倒數？要喝酒狂歡？要跑到街上同人逼？同陌生人抱抱講「新年快樂」？
新年的意義是甚麼？
為什麼不慶祝新一天？新星期？新月份？
午夜十二時的那一秒，又有甚麼特別？
說到尾，還不只是找藉口玩樂？
我寧願十時睡覺，精神面對太陽底下的新一天。

new year? - something to look forward to & hope all the bad things would be gone with the past year...=/
I have been pondering about this as well. My preliminary conclusion is that
i) it is not a bad thing to have special days marked out from usual days. It's like the foreground and background in music. =p
ii) more deeply, year-cycles connects one with the rhythm of the universe, of nature. It was important to ancient civilizations as it was to the Church. It is a good thing to have landmarks as thus, to 'know where you are' in temporality. (is the barline just an excuse for the build up towards a downbeat, for some anxiety and fun?)
- if nothing on earth was arbitrary, it would be such a boring world! -
