If you could invent a holiday, what and when would it be? What special traditions would take place?

Holidays, for the most part, are used purely as a pretext to eat and drink too much, get presents and not work, I find. Christmas and Easter hijacked for crackers and eggs. The truly religious holidays seem to have a nasty habit of being abused by radicals and twisted into hatred. And the rest? As I say, Hallmark Day ( Read more... )

How are we today, then?

Ah, I do smile and laugh, though. *snorts slightly*

Good to hear it.

That would be the perfect sort of day, any day. If only people would just take a moment or two to simply listen . . . there'd be a lot more understanding and less violence, I think. Or so I'd hope.

Ah but could we get it to happen? I somehow doubt it.

mistersmith_tm June 5 2004, 04:17:05 UTC

No. No, I don't think we could. I mean, honestly? How many do you think even heard much less listened to this much of what you've said? About the holiday, I mean? Probably not many . . .

*sighs* One. Maybe no more. It's a shame people aren't taught to listen.
