birthday happy???

Happy Birthday?

Why are all birthdays pre-attached with a "happy"? Even if people tried to change the words to generate variety like "Happy Natal Day," why the word "happy?"

What about birthdays that do not start or end well? The cake falling to the floor before the party starts thereby ruining the mood of the occasion would be a childish example! (Believe me this has happened before in a party I had attended.) Or maybe at some point in the occasion too much alcohol is consumed that Dad or Uncle starts a silly argument with a dinner guest? Or if Mom found out you slept with the boyfriend of a good friend and gives you a thunderous scolding ( Hahahaha how relevant!!!) the next day???

Are there ever SAD birthdays then?

No. First of all in the parlance of English grammar, "Happy Birthday" is a greeting connoting a wish towards a joyful or positively momentuous commemoration of your date of birth! People wish you well or happiness (what else!) on that day! It is not to be taken as a whole noun but as a greeting or something declarative.

And more significantly these words mean that in the essence of the day you were born even if the circumstances surrounding your entering the physical world may have been tumultuous, the beginning of life is a beautiful event. The entry of a living entity into this world, be it rational or partly rational, is very special because it bestows the wonderful and negative realities that living has to offer to the being concerned. The possibilities of experiencing life no matter how lengthy or short is an undeniably wondrous phenomenon. Living is an experience that matches nothing in terms of its grandeur and possibilities.

Seeing the world for the first time is a celebration of a spectacular biological triumph. Among the millions of sperm cells from the loins of your procreator, you succeeded in reaching the target cell, developed through a period of time and came out into the world outside. You are a class act because you were chosen to see the light of day among millions who never even saw the finishing line of a partner egg cell. That is reason enough to celebrate your conception and birth.

These are many reasons why the day of birth for every being always has a ring of happiness, positivity and celebration surrounding it. It is a rare moment, your introduction to the race called life and it happens only once in your existence!!!

Therefore I conclude, there are no sad birthdays....
