Birthdays

Why do we have birthdays? Who needs an annual celebration signifying the aging of a person? Where does this idea originate from? I believe it is a mediocre celebration to lift ones spirit to hide the fact that their precious life is fading and that they are becoming dull and pathetic. “Let us celebrate the destroying of an enjoyable personality and the welcoming of wrinkles and grey hair”! Execrable idea, I say. I support the abolition of such a pointless festivity.
