Someone once said that, " the meaning of life is that it stops"( or was it, it ends?). What he said is the ultimate truth, without the sugarcoat. Some celebrate their birthday with a bang! Booze, music,food,friends,family and other variations of merry making. I on the hand view birthday's as no more than a countdown to pending inevitable end!
I was once invited to attend a birthday party of someone whos existence i dont approved of, most of my friends will be in attendance and they asked me to join them,i just said," i dont even like that person!so why should i celebrate that he's still alive?". Yes i usually say the rudest things.
What i didnt know then was- the more birthday party he gets the nearer he gets to, getting old,getting ill, becoming senile and ofcourse dying.
