Is it only me who thinks that birthdays are somehow futile?
What’s the point of celebrating that one had survived yet one more year?
I believe we lost the right to be proud of such an “achievement”, having such easy lives. Talking about life hundreds or thousands of years ago, that was a tough life indeed, and you would have every right to be proud of staying alive, with all the wild animals, famines, and plagues and such. Those still remain till today, but I –myself- haven’t put much effort in being alive, and have very little to be proud of.
But –because it’s my birthday- I’m in no mood to speak of such gloomy topics, let’s keep it light and delight.
Come to think about it, what ARE birthdays about, indeed? Between receiving messages from people who I hardly know, being hit on by bisexuals on the internet, being dragged –in the middle of the night- to a late drink and some clumsy search, I realized that it all comes down to spending time with the ones who love us, be they family, friends or lovers. Maybe, just maybe, that’s what birthdays are all about!!!
perhaps they aren't so futile after all.. don't you think?

どうぞ、すわって ください （ｗ）
i agree with u ...its not a celebration in what u have accomplished ...its just having fun with ppl who r in the circle that z close 2 ur heart
i dont think that celebrating birthday is something futile, its just the opportunity to spend time with the people who,as it was said upper, are close to our heart and listen to some wishes which cant be heard usually. life would be futile without such little nice events ;)
aseel: it's not always about who these people are, happiness would surprise you being brought by people less expected to bring it, so is misery
anka: That's what I concluded, after all. Life is all about the little things, even the things that are so far that they might seem too little to be counted for ;)
