Everyday's a birthday
|
EVERYONE, not just kids, hopes for a happy birthday. On that special day, people receive gifts and good wishes from those who care. Flowers, cards, toys, a birthday cake and perhaps something you have long dreamed of will flood to you, making you feel on top of the world.
In more practical terms, though, the only thing birthdays signify is the passing of another year, the taking of one more step toward old age. Children grow up, and the aged get senile. With their curious eyes wide open, children often wish that they could grow up in a day. Looking back on their youth, old people wish that time could stop. Therefore, children are the happiest on their birthdays, and the grandpa generation may secretly feel a little bit sadness though they smile in satisfaction surrounded by a big family. Young adults may not care much about birthdays, for they are in the prime life and too many things distract them.
People celebrate birthdays for they think it the marking of a "private new year" and want blessings for happiness and success. But some of us forget that enjoying everyday is much more important than expecting a birthday carnival. Actually, if we can make each day count, we will find there are 365 birthdays in the year.
