New Year’s Resolution. . .
I do not like New Year’s resolutions. I don’t know that I’ve ever made one. To me they seem as if they are designed to fail and to permanently keep you from accomplishing whatever goal you have set for yourself. A resolution accomplishes nothing. When the U.S. congress or state legislatures want to have a little good press they pass a non-binding resolution, “Be it hereby resolved. . . . blah, blah, blah, blah. . . .” It costs nothing. OK strictly speaking the ink and the paper on which it is printed is a cost, but you get the idea. In general terms, if something costs nothing then you can be generally assured that it is worth very close to the same amount. For most a New Year’s resolution is the same, a feel good proclamation that has no funding, no real commitment. Watch the parking lots at all the fitness or diet centers. It’s no surprise. We all know it. A few weeks after the turning of the year, the resolution fades into memory. We’ll try again next year. And that leads
