Happy Birthday, Wow you are getting OLD

Today was my older sisters Birthday. As I was talking to her I kept telling her that she was getting old. This is true in any case. On your birthday you are automatically one year older. In the primary song it talks about being one year older and wiser too, for some people the whole wiser thing isn't true. As I thought about this I decided to write my blog on it. Why do people celebrate birthdays? Birthdays just mean that they are getting OLD. In the world today people try to make themselves look younger and dread getting older. But on birthdays we celebrate eat ice cream and cake, and buy each other presents. But in reality we should dress in black and morn the whole idea of getting older. I guess some people might say that we celebrate birthdays to celebrate that person being born and coming into the world. I that is a reasonable explanation, but it still means that you are getting old. And most people don't want to get old. So there is no need to celebrate birthdays. We should forget about them and deny the one year older thing.
