Congratulations! At some point in time, through no effort of your own, you were born.

Interesting prospect, isn't it? Celebrating birthdays doesn't really make sense, and yet that's what we do. We've always done it, and we'll probably continue to do it for the rest of human existence. All that a birthday is is a celebration that a person was born, and that they've survived another year on the planet, which I guess is an achievement due to global warming, and with people over the age of 80 it's an achievement too, but before that, the only reason we really need to keep track of birthdays is to be aware of how old we are. Otherwise, it's just a constant source of money for card making companies.

Why do I think about these things?
