Is birthday just a calendar thing?

Can it be that birthdays are just calendar classification like things like the New Year too? The New Year seems to go better if one has insight about how to start the new year, and is not just celebrating the old ones. But it has to be good quality insight that is good to build úpon, like your views about good ways of doing, values, content to life, etc But my experience is that one cannot continue along plans made on birthday. One may then make a some kind of scetch that is soon forgotten, or then some rob those things away from you.

2nd of August 2021   If one is already middle aged, one often thinks of time passibg when one has a birthday. Maybe then tens of years older persons think that such is a good time to meet or see or read about the elderly and of really old people. If someone is over 100 years old the age may be difficult to prove, especially if it is hundreds or thousands of years, yet such a person may think it easier to meet some younger one around one's 50th birthday, and si the older ones too get some younger contacts if they themselves are fit and have their skills ok.
