Okay, so here is my theory of why we should celebrate birthdays, even if they are made to look insignificant by those around us.
When we take birth, it's Creation that is happening. I told Sharvari this morning that it's not because you got created that we celebrate birthdays, but because you got created that we do. We see so many people around us. Most of us do things for ourselves. Like the monkey that places it's baby beneath its foot before it climbs up to safety. We are, by default, self-centred. But to varying degrees. If God decides to Create and not Destroy you, there must surely be something special about you, right? And then, you walk the tightrope between Death and Life during your birth. And if you survive, you do something special, and so, you get a gift each year.
Your very own birthday.
So, shielding myself with the adage better very late than never,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHARVARI!
