If you think about it we made up time, for convince reasons. If we celebrate the New Years we are really celebrating something we made up. Why do we celebrate it when for a fact every second that passes is a second closer to our death. sorry to be a Debbie downer but it's the truth. why are you celebrating 2007?

Well, I can't really answer the first question because I can't speak for billions of people in this world. Yes, it's true that New Years is something we created but it's up to the person on how he or she wants to spend it. I'm not exactly celebrating the new year, but rather acknowledging it as the year that will change my life for better or for worse, so I have to remember that this year is very important for me future wise.

We may be getting closer to our death with each second... but that is so totally something we can't help... death comes to us all... we might as well celebrate when a new year comes...
Because heck! Now we're not only a second closer... we're a whole whopping year closer!
Just don't think about the fact that we're getting closer to death... live your life well... and be happy!

cos it's a NEW YEAR! it's a celebration of new beginnings and not being closer to death - put the bad past behind you and look forward to a better future! don't you want to move on instead of remaining in the same old shoes?

Death isn't going to be bad and death isn't the end.
I'm celebratin' 2007 because it's a new year (and yeah, we did make it up, so? It's a measurement of time that helps humans keep track and such) ! *throws confetti*
It's another year that you have survived! Woooooo! You're alive! C'mon now!

Sometimes a new year can feel like a fresh start. This year has been a rough one for me personally and the world events have been rocky. I think a fresh start, as silly as it may sound. makes sense sometimes.

Some people are fascinated by death so maybe it makes them happy .And for most people I suspect :any excuse for a party is a good one.Go out get pissed, have fun because someday as you said you'll be dead.
