Celebrations of New Year and Us

First of all, happy new year my dear readers! (Sevgili Türkçe seven okurlarım :D Azıcık daha sabır, Türkçe yazılarım da gelecek. Valla bak :D - My dear Turkish readers, I am asking for a little little little patience. Turkish essays will be there. SOON) Welcome 2018, good bye 2017. (The old and dirty year.J) I wish, 2018 brings hope, love, health, welfare and happiness to all the humanity and helps to get rid of hate, discrimination, cruelty, hopelessness and fear from the World. I will write (talk) about new year celebrations in this essay.
Every beginning of the year begins with hopes that I stated above. This tradition does not change and spreads year by year among mankind. The years that passed are (the main actor is 2017 now) old, dirty and must be avoided like the plague. However, at the same time, everybody misses the past and their memories. Especially childhood has a huge place in that missing.

Why do people celebrate the new year? What is purpose of this deep rooted tradition? I have different approach about these questions. I think humankind is looking for the hope. Every new year is bringing a new white page and hopes in our mind. Because we need it. We need pass the desperate days as soon as possible and this chance is coming just one day in a year. Our expectations are coming to light with light of the firework at 00.00 – 1^st January 20NEWYEAR. However, I have not a pessimistic aspect with this “be in search of hope”. Any of the people cannot live without hope, dreams and expectations. They bring a giant energy from our deep.

Another possibility of purpose of celebrating the new year is will of to be happy. It is clear, most of people have masks in their faces. The secret masks. And most of these masked people have sadness or disappointment -it has small or big part in their life, but it is there-. The new year brings temporary times without unhappiness. Kind of a temporary paradise. Like effect of dopamine. Addiction of short time happiness. We want to forget our problems in our life. (Why I am looking from a pessimistic aspect in this paragraph? I have watched the series of Black Mirror. I am sorry :D)

The last possibility is; we are already happy. But we cannot show our happiness, delights and joys in daily life turmoil. We already have hopes, we don’t need temporary one and only need is a time. A holiday at the same time with all the World. And we celebrate this remembrance at last hours of the old years annually. Politics, carrier steps, works and passions are only a barrier in our minds and can be easily passed if we find a short time holiday. A vacation for our brain and heart.  

In conclusion, I wish a great year. I have also hopes, expectations and some motivations in my life. Maybe March or February. It is not too far and to be continued. I will right be here. J

HAPPY 2018s J
