Every single day is closer to death. But we dont get all depressed about that do we?
New years is ceremonial. It just marks the start of a different number at the end of the date.
why is new years so special if its another year closer to death ? theres nothing special about new years?

@markus but thats what everyone thinks, when all of that really isn't necessary.

its all necessary, fireworks are one of the best parts in the year.
IT GIVES YOU ONE HELL OF A GOOD REASON TO DRINK.
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
To add onto what Derpderp said , Someone I know mentioned this as well but about his birthday. "I'm just getting closer to death" Well in my opinion every second closer to dying, Is a second we lived. In my mind it's the fact that I got that extra second of living that makes me appreciative, and outweighs the inevitable of death.
Going with that Idea, I think then that things like, Our Birthday, And New Year's Day, Ect... are traditionally celebrated to be around those you love, and truly in that one moment be thankful for what you have. It's just that now in such an artificial world we want celebration and frills that are unneeded.
eve, you have one complicated state of mind, but your right. maybe i waasnt seeing the correct vision of new years just the uneeded celebration.
