On birthday



I browsed for reasons on why people celebrate birthday.  These are some of them:

  1. A birthday is a time to celebrate birth itself, the joy of life. ...... To recall our birth is to recall a new beginning. No matter how things went yesterday, or last year, we always have the capacity to try again. (www.chabad.org
  2. Birthdays are a good reminder of what God has given us. (www.answersingenesis.org)
  3. We should celebrate our birthday as a reminder of our original purpose here on this planet.................. Our birthdays are a celebration of the gift of life, .... It is a time to reflect on who we are, what we have been given and what we plan to achieve. It is a time to be grateful to God for our very existence (www.selfgrowth.com)
  4. To celebrate your life...yes everyday should be a celebration, but the day you were born, the day you entered this life. A beautiful life that deserves to be celebrated with family and friends. (wiki.answers.com)
  5. A birthday is an occasion on which we celebrate that original event of our birth, not in order to count the time that has passed and speculate about the time that is left, but to remind ourselves that each day is a new gift. (www.anselmphilosophy.com)
