Birthdays!!!

Today is my best friend birthday and I started to think why do we celebrate birthdays?

I came up to the conclusion that it all depends in our culture ans society because we all have different ways in wich we celebrate birthdays.

I think that what we celebrate is not exactly the age( number) but more what is symbolizes like getting more mature, accumulating knowledge, having different experiences that help us to grow up and mature faster, etc.

I also think that it also applie

s to other cultures, in fact I don't think that people celebrate at all the number cause then why is everyone so obsses with getting older and staying young forever by finding the fountain of the eternal youth.

If I focus in the relgious side mabe it can symbolize the day when God decided I should come to earth to achieve a specific task.It can also be a day for spending time with all the people you care and love like your family and closest friends.

What ever the reason is I just know that I love

birthdays because it is a day were you can give gifts to your loved ones and its one of the days of the year were you can spoiled them with the things they've been wanting for a while.It is also a day for reminding them how much you loved them and care about their feelings.

Does money buy happiness?

We have often heard the phrase that says that money doesn´t buy happiness but in some way is not true. Let’s take for example a family. If you want to survive you need money, because you need to buy your basic needs such as food, drinks and a place to live. You even need money to make your life happier, who isn´t happy when he or she gets something new? I know this has to do with capitalism but it still makes you feel good.

Even though I say this, you don´t need a lot of money, because the more you have the more you want and is a vicious cycle in which you are so absorbed in wanting money that you don´t even pay attention to your family. So everyone needs a balance in those aspects of their life. You need a job in which you gain more than enough money and something that you like to do.

To end, I want to say that we shouldn´t say that money can´t buy happiness because is not true, you need money, nothing is free. And the amount of money we need depends on the lifestyle of everyone.
