Nothing has changed. Nothing has changed, because I allowed nothing to change. Why bother? 'Valar morghulis', as it is said in A Song of Ice and Fire. 'All men must die.' We bide our time, justify our actions, compromise, and do the best we can with what we are given. Death expects nothing from us, and I am perfectly content with doing/being absolutely nothing.
I should point out that, thinking this way, I expect less and less of people, too. And just as well. What does this world's people have to offer? More to the point, what does this world's people have to offer me?
So for the following year, I say again: Be nothing, do nothing, expect nothing.
