Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. I understand your idea.
> It boils down to “tradition”
Yeah, I think you are 100% correct, but I don’t think everything can be justified for that reason. For some countries, say, Sodomy Law is still tradition. In the U.S., people still use weird unit system, refusing adopting Metric system. I know they are extreme examples.
Celebrating new era is wonderful, but I hope people reconsider the use of this peculiar year counting system. It is a good time, I guess. Everything boils down to “tradition”, like you said, but I don’t think we have to stick to the same tradition.
