Days and events hold no inherent specialty, for they are but mere markers of time. Their occurrence brings no inherent alteration, nor do they impact any change. On the morrow, Ramadan shall commence and, as is the custom, many shall choose to amend their ways. Some will stop listening to music, others shall stop mistreating themselves, and the like. Though I find the overall notion commendable, the idea of it being a limited-time resolution does not sit well with me. I have encountered those who abstain from music only during Ramadan, and this perplexes me. They either normalize their misdeeds in their subconscious or are foolish enough to believe that their actions during Ramadan are different from the rest of the year. I suspect it to be the former, for it is a curious thought that they accept their wrongdoing as acceptable for most of the year but not during Ramadan. Do they desist from theft and other unethical behavior solely during Ramadan? This is questionable. If you believe that certain things are bad, why you are not trying to apply yourself to them? Especially that it's pretty possible through 30 days, or you are not looking for virtues out of resolutions? #Modus Vivendi
