I do not celebrate my birthday with a party. A nice dinner with my family is enough for me
Because I survived another year of life, we each have our own day to be a 'King' And the rest we are servants. One day is not that much to ask.
Time...line? Time isn't made out of lines. It is made out of circles. That is why clocks are round. ~ Caboose
Gifts, celebration, joy, and cake. Don't forget the cake. Of course this doesn't mean much the older you get, it starts becoming a ritual of sorts instead of a celebration. I still like my birthday, it just means I'm a year older now. With cake.
...Seriously can't be the only one who enjoys birthdays mainly because of the cake.
so hey another year of my life gone!!! instead of making the most of my life and enjoy it as much as possible Im gonna sit here and cry because Im gonna die eventually.... logic?

And what do you do as a King on that special day? Wear a crown, and a staff? Sit on a throne, and give away orders? Perhaps issue executions on your servants. Maybe wage war with another King for territory? How about increasing taxes in your kingdom, you can never have too much gold!
Sorry, just couldn't help myself.
You can have a cake on any other day.

This is something I have never understood. Be it Christmas, new year's eve, birthdays or whatever old tradition, the only reason people seem to hang on to it is to use it as an excuse to drink alcohol and party. I'm fine with people doing it, what I don't understand is why they need an excuse for it? You're all adults who can make your own decisions, you want to drink and party? Go do it, there's no need to have any other reason than the desire to do it.
Hell, people even use moving to another place as an excuse, I find it ridiculous frankly...
As for birthdays, I've stopped caring about them altogether, as with most traditions. I see little to no point in them.
So you're going to live the next 60 years of your life, depressed about your inevitable death?
You need to cheer up. Here, have a birthday cake:
Jesus man, just take the time to celebrate and have fun and don't worry so much about D-Day.
Besides, in a few years, scientists will figure out how to neutralize those telemeres and aging will be a thing of the past anyways.

It's the celebration of birth, plus at certain ages there are perks like the right to drive a motorized vehicle, smoke, vote, drink, etc...
Happy Unbirthday!
Oh dear, first it was newyears eve now its birthdays. I'll give you an explenation about why we celebrate stuff:
Because its fun, humans like having fun, any excuse for fun is a good excuse.
My 18th Birthday is 237 days away. Biggest milestone in ones life. I can't wait to celebrate. I don't understand why you wouldn't want to be happy? Let alone on your birthday.
Because you see the half that's empty, you see the years left until you're dead while the most of us see the full part of the glass, we celebrate being another year alive!
I celebrate it and spend time with everyone I care about.
Because it's a wonderful tradition to feel spoilt by everyone all at once on 1 day.
As I've got older my birthday has been more about a lie in and day off work
Now I enjoy my kids birthdays much more.
