Well, birthdays are merely symbolic of how another year's gone by and how little we've grown. No matter how desperate we are that someday a better self will emerge, with each flicker of the candles on the cake we know it's not to be. That for the rest of our sad, wretched, pathetic lives, this is who we are to the bitter end. Inevitably, irrevocably. Happy birthday? No such thing.

This is true.
Have you ever considered that each year, maybe today-right now, we each celebrate the anniversary of our death? Unknown day, but surely one that would cause even more pointed reflection into the year's goals, accomplishments and failures.
