It was my birthday yesterday...just turned 20....yay....
As you can tell, i don't really find birthdays as such a joyous occasion. I just feel bloody old. I even wrote it on my Facebook. The only feeling i really get from birthdays is that 'wise' feeling. just being more experienced in life than i was a year ago. Its funny though, when i look back, there are some things which i wish i had never had done.
Every year people celebrate the day they were born, feeling happy about the fact that they are growing, one year more experienced than last year. But they're oblivious to the fact that their just more closer to their death. Everyone knows their birthday, but does anyone know their death day? Don't get me wrong, I'm not some kind of paranoid, pessimistic, death mongorer. I like life and i like celebrating birthdays. In fact i held a party back when i turned 11. What i don't like is people celebrating their birthdays in excess. I mean family getogethers are ok i guess and maybe the traditional cake is fine. But we have to look at the big picture here. Millions, or even billions of people who live in poverty have nothing to celebrate on their birthday, or any day.
While we live our every day lives in comfort people in the world are trying to just survive. Think of that when you make your birthday wish.
