Every time i wish someone a happy birthday, i tend to wonder what it really means for them. Most obviously, it means that the birthday person was born on this day an x no. of years ago. What were his/her parents wishes for him/her then? How has the life turned out actually? On each birthday, does the birthday person think anything of the years gone by and those yet to come, or just celebrates the day and forgets about it until the next time? What if there is no next time...that is a horrifying thought, and so, I wish a long, happy and healthy life for him/her.
There are some people who think birthdays should not be celebrated since every birthday only means that we are another year older and older means, less younger, less able, less of everything... Well, we all have our own take on life, and mine is that if i am able to celebrate my birthday or anyone else's , it only means i am alive! And i am thankful to God for that! so, yes, i think birthdays are a reason for celebration- they are a celebration of being alive, of hope once more and good wishes. They are reminders that we have a lot to be thankful for, and a lot more to achieve. They are our bundles of LIFE we unpack every year with happiness and hope...
