The Importance of Birthdays in the American Society

I am not going to lie, birthdays are epic. The most epic of these birthdays are your 1-6, 16, 21, 30, and maybe your 40. After the 40th year however, you start to feel as though your muscles start to crumble away, your bones being ground to dust, and the image your old flabby being put into a coffin. Why does the American society celebrate these occasions? You may be inclined to say that its a time for everyone to get together, to do something crazy, and have hazy images on what happened that night. You are wrong. The reason Americans love birthdays is that it makes them feel empowered, it makes them feel as though they can rule the world. Think about it, if you didn't celebrate birthdays with the usual wishes and gratefulness of having that special birthday kid feel better, we would probably not be alive to tell about how depressing birthdays make us. It would not feel like taking another year under the belt and telling the tale, it would be more like a funeral procession giving prayers over the lucky new born as the mother and father cries over how, in the distant future, their beloved child will die somehow. Because of this, we tend to celebrate birthdays in a far better way. Some of you would be offended about this saying that we don't think about the death of the guy. Well answer me this, do you ever had a flicker of sadness or the idea of what the world be like without that birthday kid, if you have you are a hypocrite.
