Soon,
2013 will be history,
and the new year ahead,
remains a mystery!
But, if our lives,
we could plan and plot,
would we, indeed, have a better shot
at what our hearts desire?
I wonder...
If, our future, we could secure,
and our overall happiness ensure,
without lifting a finger,
or a hardship endure,
would it still have the same allure
as having worked for it?
Not likely.
It seems,
the older I grow, the less I know,
for the world is vast, and moving fast;
in fact, almost half a century
of my own life has passed -
Where did it go?
I'm baffled!

| Socrates, 469 - 399 BC |
About 2500 years ago,
a wise, Greek philosopher
startled the sleepy status quo,
by humbly declaring,
(and to his society's woe),
''I know one thing: that I know nothing''.
Undoubtedly,
he was definitely
on to something.
Alas,
through Socratic method
I chose to address,
the complex equation of 2014,
and assess, that it's futile
to predict, stress and obsess,
about the numbers and knowledge
of its substance.
Therefore,
a simple,
'Happy New Year!'
is what I wish for you.
May it bring you smiles
within seconds
of its dashing debut!
I now bid you adieu,
sweet friends.
Until next year,
