Since it's my birthday today, I couldn't help but ask myself; What makes this days unlike every other day? Let alone worth celebrating?
I don't know how my birth is so special, and I think my parents should be more excited than me since I came into their life, while I just am to my own.
The calendar is a human invention that decides that the yearly return of the sun in a specific spot in the "heavens" somehow means there is a mathematical logic to its travels, therefore the dates are "recurring" as such and worthy of being considered as a repeated date albeit one "year" later based on the suns travels. In reality your birth date was…and cannot be repeated. But hey think of the money we humans can make by continually manipulating our fragile egos into thinking the universe is aware of our existence and has planned accordingly.

Wow i will never use the words about birth, day, birthday etc. and never celebrate, never and ever. thank you btw, enough information for me, i was wondering how it goes on.
I mean, if people actually want to complain about a day to celebrate and enjoy life, have at it...
Birthdays have whatever value that you'd like to apply to them. My wife puts a dollar value to her birthday.
Birthdays are another reason to party because your you and who isn't adding to the occasion of love ones and beer?
Technically yeah, but sometimes a little day dedicated to you isn't so bad

She always asks for a couple hundred in cash every year. Normally, she goes and spends it on slot machines.
You need to chill dtq an just enjoy the day....... :new_birthday: :arrow: :pidu:
Everyone wants to feel special sometimes. Why not celebrate the day you were born, no matter how much of an artificial construct it is?
Congrats on rotating around the sun one more time.
Redbox gives you a free movie on your birthday, if you sign up for some special offer thingy.
Let me put it this way: Should people be allowed to force others to give gifts on their birthday? My parents think so and it's a bit tiring to give gifts every single year to other people, and I don't always want gifts (especially if it's just clothes)
Breavick fucked up Norway on my birthday.. Other than that and my birthday nothing else ever happened on that day ever in recorded history.. Maybe some 13th century monk got the clap and died..
