Why don’t we celebrate our birthday
We have some days in our life. Don’t think that everyday is not our day?? Our day means special days only to us. Especially birthdays and marriage days. For some people house warming day and baby shower day or so many…they are our days whatever the occasion is.. leaving all other days aside, I should talk about birthdays in particular.. many people think that celebrating birthday is wrong “we are all adults now, why we are celebrating birthdays?”but according to me, our birthday has no meaning if you are not happy.
Birthday is a lot of excitement for everyone in childhood. Cake, new clothes, balloons, chocolates are more interested in such things. This excitement generally dimenishes by age of 12 or 13. Those who lead a busy life and those who live alone don’t even remember their birthdays.
I don’t know why there is so much excitement about birthday at young age. I was like this when I was kid. Now I see the same excitement in my son. He was now completed eight years. (June 14th is his birthday) he plans one month before how to celebrate his birthday. He asked me “I want strawberry cake, more chocolates, new clothes…this year he want a watch also.. the thing that I like the most is..”” “on the day of his birthday, whoever is seen outside.. he would say to all of them “wish me today is my birthday”while they were all wishing him, there would be some happiness in his eyes.
Why can’t we continue this happiness when we are happy with small things as a child? As we grow older, our responsibility is also increase. “Many people think that if we stop doing all over work because it’s our birthday today it will more work tomorrow”let it be okay work harder tomorrow?
Why we are celebrate our birthday? What should achieve in my life? This is also very common question. I don’t understand celebrating birthday to do achieving something in life? Why should your birthday not be an important day for you?
I want to say one more thing here.. celebrating means, nothing to spend thousands of money on…may not be possible for everyone. Does your happiness lie in spending money? To celebrate is to be as you want. What your favourite movie, spend time with your family, eat whatever you want, be happy all the day…
Leave all your work and tensions aside is not being like celebrating?
In my childhood I never cut a cake for my birthday, I probably cut a cake for the first time in my 20 and 21. It’s not matter of financial status. At that time birthday celebrations meant waking up early in the morning, wearing you clothes, going to the temple, giving chocolates to all the friends. But you celebrations for like this in almost in everyone’s home.
I almost celebrate my son’s birthday in the same day just as small changes are there. Going to restaurant, cake cutting, sweets ,cool drinks.. there is no restrictions on food.
I don’t ask to do homeworks. Mobile is also same more. In any case, he is happily enjoying his birthday. As a parent, we have never spent so much on his birthday. We put only as much as we could. Anyway he was very happy that whole day.
In the very busy lives, never miss any moment of being happy. Don’t miss any special days in your life, not only birthdays. Celebrate your life happily.
