Flow of tears

I would like  to tell you that I can write many sad stories as if I am a script writer. But it depends on how well your tears can flow. This flow would never be the same with the financial flows in any banking or financial systems. Obviously it is not easy to be a script writer when you are writing about other people's life.

I am very surprised sometimes to see people celebrate their birthday by organising some special parties or "makan-makan" and the like. They would never be able to invite everyone for sure. But their parties and pictures of their cakes and celebrations are posted and can reach the people who are not invited to such parties.

I have known a person who never celebrated his birthday. I tried to understand why he has never appreciated his birthday. After more than 30 years I tried to figure out how he "feels" by not celebrating his own birthday. He never answered me. He said his answer will sadden me.

Well that's enough for the above because I can't tell how sad he must be if he himself tell me what makes he sad? Some answers cannot be written everywhere.

I understand why a particular person said that a birthday is "just another day". I can give you an illustration:

"One day a boy was invited to a birthday party of one of his friends. His mother did not give consent to attend the party without stating any reason for the poor boy. That boy went to his friend's house. But he did not enter the house he just sat outside the gate far from being seen by others because he wanted to know how it felt to celebrate a birthday party. He was very frustrated when he saw his friends were enjoying themselves by eating cakes and cookies and they played games together without him. The party was still on even without him. 

That boy asked his mother why can't he celebrate his own birthday? The mother asked him to find the answer himself by saying "one day you would find the answer".

If it is true that your birthday is "just another day" will you be able to find the answer for that boy?
