These days, I haven't written any complete articles because of the debate competition. January 4, 2024, is my Gregorian birthday. Just thinking about the topic of "birthday" is quite interesting, so I wanted to write this article.
Birthday, as the name suggests, is the day of birth. At first thought, it's just a day. We have lived through so many days, some of which are commemorated because of the events that took place. So, by that logic, a birthday could also be called a birth anniversary.
Birth is also known as coming into existence. Before, we didn't know where we were, and later we arrived in this world. Ants come into this world as if they didn't have a life. After people start working, they may not celebrate birthdays anymore. Birthdays may be for children. "This is my day."
From this, we can imagine how miraculous the birth of life is. If we were not born, would the world be the same?
We can imagine, on a night of overtime work, suddenly hearing a birthday song and children's laughter, which may involuntarily remind us of scenes from our own past birthdays: bringing out the cake, lighting the candles, turning off the lights, blowing out the candles, cutting the cake. The cake is often seen as a symbol of birthdays, but the cake itself is not important; our happiness on our birthday is what matters. If the birthday person blows out the candles with a serious face, then the birthday naturally feels bland.
Commemorative days like birthdays can help us remember specific things on specific days. On birthdays, many platforms will send you birthday wishes. "Happy Birthday!" This day may not be as important as the days when you sign big contracts, but at this moment, your birth is worth celebrating.
