It's always interesting how these "last" and "first" are special for human-being. Can both are simply meant as a marker of time?
Well, both as one can stand for many things based on its context, but never is apart from time.
It's because human has the concept of time, "last" and "first" define something: a special moment, act or event, etc. Maybe, at a certain place too, since we live in time and space.
Another thing that I can extract from "first" and "last" is, referring to Claude Levi-Strauss, it's one of an amount of examples about binary opposition that naturally exists in human's mind. We do contrast so many things in the way we see this world, don't we?
Both as one is a marker of time that's related to defining someone or something (an act, natural phenomena, event, etc.), I think.
And how people celebrate the "first" and the "last" are diverse, according to how they interpret the moment and place, I assume. Just like how people celebrate the last day of year 2015 and the first day of year 2016, this year, for example.
In addition, the transition between the "first" and the "last" can be deliberately complicated, yet simple. We can see how every marker of time has a certain process in order to reach it.
Finally, for the last phrase of this absurd writing, I'll say:
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016!!!
