It's cold in my room and I guess it's the closest I get to the CHRISTMAS spirit this year. I could say I feel the ambient of HANUKAH or even sympathy to our cousins fasting now for RAMADAN.
But I don't. To any of these holidays. Sorry.
I feel sadness thinking how far we are standing now from the original philosophy of these holidays. All three talking about love,  good virtues,  tolerance,  respect,  bringing light to the world. all three happening simultaneously while all over the globe war is continuing, terrible violence, corruption, deceit, exploitation… should I elaborate? You only have to turn on TV, pick up the newspaper (if you're lucky). But I guess what makes this sadness so irritating is a bothering feeling that this distance could also, actually, be so small.
We can get so much better. damn, we can even go beyond what the people who invented these holidays had in mind.
I mean they weren't really thrown down to us by god. We invented them so why not implement? why not make better ones, ones which we would really practice with sincerity?
all year round?!
Can't we really stop being violent? stop hurting others? resist the demons inside ?
I don't know. I mean, I don't beat up my wife, rape and steel, but I can't say I don't hate. And this is where it all starts, isn't it?

Last week a friend of mine told me he's put "hate" out of his vocabulary. Interesting experiment.

I've already wished you a happy New Year in September, but I can't resist the opportunity once again.
I wish we will have better reasons for the holidays we celebrate.
