Birthdays

Well we celebrate birthdays and no issues on that but I would like to ask just one question- How many like to age?If we do not want to age why do we celebrate birthdays?Birthdays symbolize aging . On our birthdays we age by 1 year.The main thing is that people want to feel their importance and the birthdays symbolize that. Birthdays symbolize that our entry into this world . By celebrating burthdays we want to convey that we are somebody- our entry into the world has some significance. And that brings me to the chief topic- significance and importance of the individual. I passionately believe that any society which does not guarantee every individual some respect is undermining one of our strongest impulses and thereby undermining itself . Man tends to attack anything which inhibits his basic impulses . Does our present society respect every individual irrespective of class,caste,gender? I hope the answer is positive.
