Birthdays: stairway to hell?
So I happened to be in this village few days back…they call
it a small town but to me it looks and feels like a village (No offense to
villages or villagers).
Unfortunately I was there on my Birthday and to my utter
shock I discovered that a lot of villagers believe it’s a sin to wish someone
on their birthday. I had people downright, straight up, smack in my face
refusing to say “happy birthday”…call me immature but birthdays to me are a big
deal..one day in a year you can make someone feel special..and I try to make it
a big deal for the people close to me, so this sinful birthday to me is a new
concept! And one that I believe is specific to few rare individuals! HOPEFULLY!
It saddens me…there are so many things to worry about in
this world…and yet people convince themselves to stay miserable..and come up
with bizarre ways to make sure that they stay miserable…
Here’s to hoping someday there will be an open window in
their caves!
