To the editor: Crucial factor that I would want for in 2025 is truthfulness. Columnist Anita Chabria expressed that sentiment in her New Yr’s decision, “I typically don’t care about Republican or Democrat, however I do care about writing with compassion and fact.” (“After a bruising election 12 months in America what’s going to 2025 deliver?” column, Dec. 29)
I gathered with my aunt and cousins on Christmas Day; we didn’t point out politics as soon as. As an alternative we reveled in our household ties and traditions of fine meals and camaraderie. We weren’t naive in regards to the politics that might have divided us, however we put them apart in our caring and respect for one another.
There are going to be many causes for division in our nation within the coming years. And I’m fearful that suppression and alteration of the reality might be our fixed companion. We completely can’t compromise in the case of looking for the reality.
If all of us deal with that one goal, perhaps we will deliver some stability and unity again to our lives.

To the editor: “Blissful New Yr!” — we hear that again and again when the calendar turns over yearly.
What does it actually imply? I’ve contemplated that. I hear folks complain that if solely this or that might occur, they might be blissful. It’s as if some unseen exterior occasion could be chargeable for them to be blissful.
Properly, have I obtained a newsflash: Actual happiness will not be some imaginary purpose to attempt for, however is as a substitute a highway that one travels.
To place it merely, you and also you alone are chargeable for your individual happiness. It’s one thing you can determine, to be blissful or not. It comes from inside.
It doesn’t matter what group prevails or who wins or loses an election, you’ll be able to determine to be blissful. You possibly can get up every day and say to your self, “I’m blissful.” The selection is yours.
Blissful New Yr!
