[QUOTE="Russ, post: 859046, member: 47"] I think birthday celebrations are related to ego and high/low self esteem. Mine is on a 'special' day when it's best for others to be doing something else rather than celebrating your birthday. I am happy to celebrate others' birthdays but keep quiet about mine. Perhaps my ego isn't very much intact and my self esteem is questionable. It's nice that a close someone remembers you, but such people are getting fewer and that's fine. Sadly, evidence suggests that we are more interested in ourselves than others and that's OK with me. It's how things are. I could make a lot of noise and insist on a party, but what value would there be in that? [/QUOTE]
