Birthdays, they're supposed to be great, a day when we have fun and enjoy our time. But why is that? Why do we have to celebrate a year older? Why do we have to celebrate a step closer to death? Animals are able to give birth too, we don't see them celebrating every year, do we?
Why celebrate? I mean we're not getting prettier with every year that goes by and certainly not wiser either, what are we really celebrating? What is so special about the day our mothers gave birth to us that we felt the need to celebrate it every year? If you think about it , there is nothing worth celebrating about that day; mothers went through pain while in labor, fathers had to pay a large bill to the hospital, and a new life that was doomed to suffer was brought to this awful world, there is no bright side at all. Which only make it hard to understand why would anyone do such a thing? Except maybe that they were so miserable and their lives were so empty that they felt the need to share that with their children. If it was up to me, I wouldn't let my mother give birth to me 22 years ago, but I was helpless at the time. Anyway, that ship sailed a long time ago, or maybe the right word is 'sank', there is nothing I can do about it , and the same goes for you, it's a lost cause for all of us, but what we can do is prevent this from happening to others, that's why I have a favor to ask; please stop bringing new innocent babies to this world, Don't worry, I'm not asking you to stop engaging in sexual acts, all I'm asking is to use a condom maybe two just to be safe .
In the mean time I will try to look like I'm enjoying my life just like you do , and I will have a birthday party and eat a piece of cake and have fun with my family, maybe this is the reason why we celebrate birthdays, just so we can forget about all the ugly stuff in our lives, that's why I'm not going to ruin it for my family, I will let them enjoy that day and be happy, after all it's only a day.
Happy Birthday To Me
