Peace vs Festivals

I am not an atheist, I believe in beauty of traditions, understand that they hold some significance in our lives. But there is this one truth, I regard more. And that is: God is there omnipresent, he doesn't come by our  invitation to and doesn't leave by our farewell. The fact is we come, we live and we go. All these rituals to invoke him are just symbolic. All they serve is to ignite our conscience. At the end, all these festivals for different dieties in different seasons are not just to celebrate his various forms. They are to celebrate different forms of life. Life, that we all are blessed with. All these festivities serve just a reminder that life is to be celebrated and cherished and that is greatest purpose to have. It is not some days of celebration and then, God leaves. It is your whole life, which has to be lived before you leave. My question to all smart people, having lot of glitters on their dresses and no happiness on their faces is what are you doing? Why are you doing? And for whom are doing? If there is no peace in your mind, you are tired all the times, what festival are you celebrating? What God are going to please by disrespecting his most precious gift of life?  What sense it makes to have an array of lights, buffet of delicious dishes, if your mental state is miserable and you can't Savour it still. The question is do we celebrate just because it is social norm because we want to celebrate? And if it is for society, what kind of society we have developed? A society which has accepted fake but beautiful depiction rather it puts pressure on all to imbibe this feature as a norm but not accept raw and imperfect reality. My point is not to stop anybody from celebrations but to make people aware that above all, it has start from within. If you are happy and satisfied then, every festival has a meaning and if you are not happy from within, then no festival, no celebration, no social acceptance  can light you up.
