"Granny, look! They're starting the fireworks."
"Eh? What'd ya say? I can't hear you with all the noise."
"Fireworks. It's New Year's Eve."
"Oh. This is my 89th New Year's Eve. There's really nothing new about it."
"Mom. The kids enjoy it."
"Just a bunch of noise and flashing lights. They should use the money for something practical. Like planting fruit trees along the sidewalks or free housing for the poor."
"Mom. It's an important celebration. Lifts everyone's spirits with the hope for a better new year. Gives closure on last year."
"Well, I suppose you're right. Just nothing ever really changes. So it seems a waste to me."
(Cheer up Granny. Hopefully your next life will be better and you'll go out with a celebration.)

Should I laugh or cry reading this? All I can say is that not only grannies will say it's just another celebration and not worth (if it's safe at all) to have a look and take part of it.
A happy new year dear friend.
