TIME

New year, new days, new experience.
Is it really necessary to celebrate something already gone? It's a habit and nature, actually, for us human being to keep on holding something in the past cause no men could live without look back to their past. Aren't we tought and molded by our past? But still the question is, is it really necessary to celebrate the past?

Time is the most absurd essence in this existence where even in the most slight movement we create past and present with a possibilty of future. Why it is only a possibility? Since no body could ever predict time, only planning how to go through time, so it is only possibility that we have in the metter of time. Time could suddenly stop or it could keep on moving. It's absurd since nobody could see or feel time. What we see and what we feel only space in time.
In his famous theory, Einstein describe the anomaly of time. Where in the speed of light space expand. It means that time could create an effect which we could only see in a long period if we could gain a speed that could beat up time and we could jump between border of time. But up till now no man could gain that speed.
For two observers in two different places will feel different kind of time. In one place, the time might move slower or faster than in the other place.
These proves that tme is absurd and relative to a place and an essence.
Back to the celebration. When we celebrate a new year, what we really celebrate just another movement of time which doesn't give any significance to life. What we really celebrate only a time border which created by man, by Pope Gregory XIII in on 24 February 1582 AD by papal bull Inter gravissimas. This year is abolish to reform the Julian year which inaugurate by Julius Caesar in 46 BC.
Although Gregorian year is widely used, by referring to its term of BC and AD which stand for Before Christ and Anno Domini. Both of years are time metrix based ob Christian theology. In human civilization Gregorian or Julian years are not the only time metrixes but in every cultures they have their own time metrix such as Hijriah year in Islam or Vedic year in Hinduism but the basic similarity is the use of solar or lunar movement to create the border or the combination of the two.
Well, that's the man-made border but in its nature time border keep on emerging without any man could make any precise calculation.
So, back to the initial question. Is it really necessary to celebrate it? Is it the time or our creation that we're celebrating? And the final question that we should answer is that isn't it that in each of time movement our existence come nearer to it's end?
