Have a worthy, meaningful new year!!!

I was listening to the beatles songs while posting this new year message...I find their songs soothing, no stress at all....It's really music not just noise....How relaxing isn't it?...Yet on new year we make lots of noise....as for the Chinese they say it's to drive the bad spirits away....but somehow we Filipinos are the victims of this tradition...Every year kids and even adults lose their fingers,hands etc. while trying to drive bad spirits away.  .....I think those parts of their bodies are the ones driven away not the bad spirits....When are we going to learn?....Sometimes noise isn't the solution.....In order to be prosperous for the next year let us work hand in hand to protect ourselves, to respect people, our neighbors, our environment....Let's all have a blessed and a worthy new year!!!!
