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

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.
