"Everything is going to be the same next year"? Then why bother living? Why not just lay down and die right now?

I for one perfer to spend my time a little more constuctivly. Will there still be evil and greed and hypocracy in the world when I'm done? Well duh, of course there will be. But at least there will be a little less.

And if that means I try to bring a little peace to this world, so be it.
Here, here. Why don't we look at the glass as having a little liquid instead of being mostly empty? Instead of trying to be as nasty as we are the rest of the year, why don't we try to extend the seasonal niceness a little into our lives the rest of the year.
