 THE RESOLUTIONS

Regardless of the fact that the beginning of the year on the Gregorian calendar is an arbitrary date, unrelated to any stellar event, in the spirit of the majority and due to the magic that makes human beings launch themselves enthusiastically into the future, it is time to make resolutions.

And in the face of expectation, the mind becomes bogged down because there are so many desires that we would like to satisfy that if the genie of the lamp appeared before us, we would have difficulty synthesizing our desires in just three.

Without wanting to intrude into the intimacy of your desires, I suggest you summarize your resolutions for the new year into two, one negative, the other positive. (positive and negative as polarities of operation, without any moral sense)

The negative one is to resolve to get rid of fear in all its forms and subterfuges, because without fear you will be a better person, you will enjoy true freedom and, therefore, you will be able to experiment.

The positive resolution is to invest more time and resources in fighting to build the best possible destiny, which could not be your particular destiny, because there is no personal happiness possible in a world where unhappiness is the dominant note for the majority. Fighting for the best possible destiny is linking your particular destiny to the destiny of all the people within your circle of influence, because if improving your destiny does not also improve the destiny of these people, then your resolution is narrow and limited.

Make your resolutions with the vigor that joyful enthusiasm substantiates, and among all your resolutions also resolve to review the resolutions every fifteen days during 2024, so that they are not merely theoretical, but practical operations of an everyday order.

Offer all your good will to ease the burden that some people carry, but be careful to do so when they ask for help, because if you help them without them asking, it could backfire.
