Celebrating your festivals? Do take a look at your back

The month of December is filled with global festivals. Much of it is due to Christmas. Christianity is the most followed religion in the world. Combining that with the 31st of December year-ending party sums up a global celebration of fun, frolic, eating and enjoying the winter jitters. Having hot beverages and tons of warming meats puts us and our loved ones in a good mood.

The splendour of festivities

All families meet

Everyone greets

Everyone eats

Everyone shares memories

Blurring the lines between them and us

The collective, you become part of them

Your externality becomes their inherent trait

Conscientious choice shapes a collective consciousness

Of aspirations that thrive in a webbed beehive

Connecting many nodes into one stream of ideas

Enjoying emotional closure, having a family

To share woes with and be one with yourself

Through the closure attained from others

But never to be trapped in the paraphernalia of good times

Never to consolidate goodness as a product

For festivities and good times are a germinating

Crossroads of many lanes converging in a meeting point

Take one that is for the less unfortunate

One filled with folks who lack a beer belly to pout to the world

One that does not signify non-satiating greed

One that has people who deserve closure and gifts

As much as you do

Making someone happy in the time of festivities

Makes your heart sprout flowers in it

Do not leave their bellies empty

Do not leave their kids hungry

Do not let them engulf themselves in bone-bristling winter

Try cultivating a fertile plain for an ecosystem to evolve

Of love, care, compassion and moreover cultivating

Goodness of humanity and ideals of building

Personas that are a better future for tomorrow

Saving a life that might be tainted tomorrow

Helping them survive for another day

It creeps in your skin

How unequal the designs are?

But if its not in your hands

To do something about it

Do not expect others to do it for you

We are a collective ourselves

Many people build the righteous collective conscience..

And to have a empathetic merry Christmas and a prosperous Happy New Year
