We have all been there at some point or another, the forced bonhomie of another party in which we would rather be anywhere else, but because of tradition, because of friendship, because of love, we paint a smile on our face and join in the games, we reminisce about old times and we talk loudly of the good times and plans to be executed in the year to come. The sadness that we feel, the losses we have suffered, the joy that was displaced, is turned on itself, that by Not Going Out, we are placing ourselves in the path of internal review, that the close quarters reveal our inner most thoughts in a way that betray the hopes of the clock ticking down to the inevitable zero.
