Some incidents remind us of the Biblical Quote:

He told them this parable: “ No one tears a patch from a new garment and sews on an old one. If he does, he will have torn that new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old.”

If he does, he will have torn that new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old.”

And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins"

Live the new year anew.
