Can't say that I throw myself a party. But I do celebrate in my own little way. No one expects you to go and have a party on that day, just enjoy being alive. That's all anyone can ask of you.

 

I think we celebrate birthdays to celebrate another year of life completed successfully...but honestly i think birthdays should really be celebrated for the mother's since they did all the hard work...

 

We've already had Mother's Day in the UK - idk what the date might be in South Africa.

 

Pandorius, my mother would have referred to you as in insignificant little shit. Then she would have told you that she brought you into this world and she can take you out.

Birthdays are a celebration of life. Far more favorable than celebrating someone's death.

 

My mother had a birthday once *true story*

 

So did you - once - a while back.:excited:

 

I stopped celebrating at 18

 

I keep celebrating because I can. The alternative is morbid.

 

Well that kind of wishful thinking went away many years ago...

 

As children we couldn't wait for our Birthdays. The excitement of a possible party, and of course the gifts. Now, after all the innocents of youth have faded away into a distant memory of what was, I find that the marking of my Birthday is nothing more that a sign post for another year of my own time line passing me by.

 

People that aren't able to walk or talk can say the same thing. That there isn't a reason to live. That they can't survive in such a hindered state. But here you are refusing to exhaust the reserves of energy within you because you might not be happy. Anything that you're going through involves you. You are a factor in your own happiness. If there are circumstances, those won't affect you if you don't let them. Live for those that aren't living. You don't need to enjoy life. Enjoy the fact that you're alive. Do what you wouldn't be able to if you were buried in the ground.

 

Well one thing is that many women in this part of the world don't know of mother's day or it's significance. They see it as just another day like may day or earth day. But given society's obsession with birthdays they do attach a special significance to bdays and if we can shift the gratitude giving to our own bday instead of theirs it simplifies mfatters and freescmemory for tasks like remembering xnxx passwords.

About the celebration of life thing, all I know is that I exist and must continue to do so.what's there to celebrate?

 

I'm sorry but to me life is enough reason to celebrate and as it has been said before ... it beats the fuck out of the alternative.

 

Your birthday is the day that God chose to give the world the gift that is you.

 

that's rather optimistic. let's look at it the other way. because the alternatives are more undesirable we have to stick to the one we have no matter the trouble it causes. I'm pessimistic can't help it.

 

Sometimes I'm not so sure.

this thread amuses me

just seeing someone miss the point is funny

 

I didn't know we had the same mother. She would say the same thing to me.
