Rez Ol' Lushions

Its been bothering me for days. Okay. Worrying about this means that I have excessive surpluses of temporal allotments on my manipulators.

New Year's Resolutions. The phrase irks. Such effort is cliche, lacking in any imagination. Plus its like telling the world that you, the Resolutioner", are an idiot.

Take the words "resolve" and "resolution". Check the linguistic dynamics of them.

Resolution implies that at one time there was a solution that was either re-applied or applied in replacement to a solution to a known problem. Stoking this thought channel the observer can only interpret that all the other efforts in solution or solved failed. You, the Resolutioner, are then a failed idiot.

Resolve implies that you are finally taking a firm stand. There was a solve and now again the same solve. This is milquetoast in the world of sagebrush philosophy. It means little. It means you quit once already when you were solving the problem and here you are back at it again. And everyone else knows that you will not achieve such a goal because in historical experiences you failed every time repeatedly. You are a repeating idiot.

Also such action could be interpreted for a lack of vision. History shows that most resolutions are cliche: lose weight, quit smoking, exercise everyday. Things like this require no originality. They are common solutions for common problems. Why are you elevating these simple remedies to the diety of a year ending determination. You then are an unimaginative idiot.

Alright then. There are a lot of people who are Resolutioners at the beginning of the year. Like one new day is going to change the history of the previous 365 days by magic. It also implies rather a domesticated existence. You follow the crowd. You adhere to the group culture without question. You are a sheep, idiot.

It is quite possible to go on, but it would be superfluous. Time is to dwell on other more important issues. I promise to this year. And that is a "Solution" not a repeat.

Long ago I resolved to never make a resolution.

Of course I failed...
