Birthday - The Method to the Wholeness of Our Getting

By Gilbert Karlis


Birthday, our birth anniversary. Taking one more steps of our life. Adding one more piece towards the wholeness of our being. Additional chapter of struggles, hardships and success to our life. These are a few of the essence of birthday. But you know what the biggest essence of birthday is? This really is the very best gift that we ever received from our Almighty creator, God.

Our birthday contributes most to our life. Often most parents named their kids in accordance with the month they were born or according to the festive that had been celebrating on that month. Other cultures have also numerous beliefs relating to birthdays. Most believed that at the time a baby steps into his or her 18th birthday, she or he should grow to be independent from their parents. There's also a belief that during our birthday or when our birthday is approaching we should take in an additional careful for we are near in a neither accident nor death. But that just a belief and no one has ever proved it.

Most folks also based their life or their destiny to their birthdays. Through astrological signs, where most believe that we are guided on our daily life by twelve zodiac associated with the four elements; the earth, fire, water and air. Persons also sometimes based the character of a person to his or her zodiac. And in addition to sometimes we also based to our zodiac our compatibility on the other person, where we believe that if our zodiac had been not compatible, we also do not have that compatibility towards the him or her.

Our birthday can also be associated to other items in which most believed brings luck to our life. We have thus we named birthstone on which we according to the month we have been born and this was associated with a number of qualities on which we believed was also possessed by the one under this zodiac. There is also what we referred to as birth flower in which we believes symbolizes our characteristics. This was also in accordance with the month of our birth.

When we have been young we usually used to wish for a thing during our birthday. Most are material things. And as our parents granted our wish, we are as content as if we have achieved a thing for our selves. But as we grow up these changes, we are now often wishing for a thing for the ourselves, successful career, very good health and content life. But is not we are lucky for an additional year of life that has been added?

Winning in a lottery, mid-year bonus, and 13th month pay, a few of the elements that people believed as the greatest gift they would ever receive every year. Opposing this believe, I can say that this elements were not the greatest gift we could ever received every year. Permit us say that these issues can really satisfy us, but it is only our wants and requirements this issues can satisfy, but not the wholeness of our being. It's on our birthday on which our getting grows. Each birthday that we had added another one more piece of puzzle towards the wholeness of our life as a being.
