Why is there an end of the year? Because the calendar imposes numerical order on time. There is a natural fitness in the celebration of the New Year, a holiday of numbers imposed on things, with lists, as well as with Advent calendars and songs like 'The Twelve Days of Christmas'.

To succeed in your mission...Life is too short, and the time we waste in yawning...If you can open people's hearts first, then maybe...Myself when young did eagerly frequent doctor...What does love look like? It has the hands to help others...When the power of love overcomes the love of power...
