We all love recognition, and what better day to receive it is on our birthday. When we were small our parents gave us the best day they could, parties, friends, presents, and cake. We all have fond memories of birthday's past. Our special day is a that because we know that someone values us, and care that we are in this world.
As we age, some of us try to put up the front that we don't want any more birthdays, and some go out of their way to hide their birthday. I believe it is not the birth day that is the problem, it is the recognition that we are getting one day older. As we get older we understand that our time on earth is finite and that each passing year brings us closer to the end of that time. Our birthdays are special and one should never underestimate the immense importance of one's birthday, to that person, on that very day.
Birthdays are like, really, really HUGE. They can be days when we are surrounded by the wisest of the wise, scared to pieces by rumours of tigers, volcanoes, and cough medicine. or laughing at the newest joke or story told by friends. On our birthday we are the heroes or heroines' of our life story. Once a year, we can be encouraged by tales of past romance, adventure, and comedies in our life and we can look forward to future romance, adventure, and comedy in our life. For one day our existence on earth is celebrated by our friends loved ones and family, and we feel recognized and loved.
