I know that I added this quote to my last post, but I wanted to take this post to say that I disagree with it entirely. Not only do I not see Christmas as a necessity- but I do think that we're here for ourselves! I mean, think about it- the human race has developed into the most advanced (known) race and it's all for the sake of self-preservation and making things easier for ourselves. If it weren't for trying to make our own benefits, we wouldn't have progressed this far at all!
Secondly, if we really want to go with the theory that we need a day to remind us that we're here for "something other than ourselves", then it shouldn't be Christmas! If our moral code is THAT important, then we should be applying it all the time... not just on certain days. On top of this, we shouldn't need to be reminded of something if it's that important. Christmas is not and has never been a necessity for me. I've said it in previous posts, but it's just a source of stress and sadness at this rate. I'd rather just spend the day relaxing with those I love... which hopefully will be a reality this year. Previously, it has only really brought ,me stress. Throughout the rest of the year, I try to live a life of peace and happiness. Christmas is advertised as such- but I feel that people throw themselves too much into things and forget to uphold these "morals" for the rest of the year. I don't know. Maybe I've just over-thought this quote, as well. I'll leave that for you to decide. - Maddie
