New Year resolutions are such a scam, but to each their own

Having no plan, or pressure, or obligation to make new year’s resolutions is the type of liberation that can only be dwarfed by religious liberation. Or political.

Before the various emancipations, I would have insisted that I am not a judgmental character, that I am passive towards people who make set-up-for-imminent-failure new year’s resolutions, and in deed towards people who subscribe to the two biggest world parties, religious and political (I cannot help juxtaposing those two – such twinnies), but because as I grow older, I find small lies quite daunting, I admit to brutally judging all the above.
