Resolutions and New Year Prayer for Us all


Sarve Bhavantu Sukhina

May all be happy;
May all be without disease;
May all have well-being;
May none have misery of any sort.

— Brihadaaranyaka Upanishad 1.4.14


And for the CHILD in us :)

Hobbes: Are you making any resolutions for the new year?
Calvin: Resolutions? ME?? Just what are you implying? That I need
to change?? Well, Buddy, as far as I'm concerned, I'm perfect the way
I am! For your information, I'm staying like this, and everyone else
can just get used to it! If people don't like me the way I am, well,
though beans! It's a free country! I don't need anyone's permission to
be the way I want! This is how I am - take it or leave it! By golly,
life's too darn short to waste time trying to please every meddlesome
moron who's got an idea how I ought to be! I don't need advice!
Everyone can just stay out of my face!

Hats off to Bill Waterson.
