My life, my dominion

Who remembers yor birthday?
No this isn't to make you suddenly start taking stock of life and wondering. I was just thinking, are you glad when anyone remembers your birthday or is it significant that particular people remember your birthday?
What kind of gifts do you get? DO you get any at all? And does the giver affect the way you perceive the gift?

Birthdays are very special things not simply because they come once a year. Then that would put it in the same league as all the other days of the year. No, it is special because it is the one day life becomes well, yours! It is your life on your day, where you make the rules. YOur day.
And it is on this day that you get the most special of things. NOt of Christmas or New Year, not valentine's day or anniversaries, no the most special things come on birthdays.

SO on this birthday if someone were to come to you and to give you the moon, would you except?
We often hear of people demanding the moon. But how about people offering? There are those who say that they would fly to the moon, or jump over the moon etc. But how about actually giving one?
What if some nice person (okay let's make it a guy then, having a girl say it is like well, the guys looks like a fool), were to come up and say to a girl, 'Dear miss, i would like to offer you the moon. Just stretch out your hand and say that you accept and it would be yours" I wonder what the girl would do? The idea is so ridiculous that well. I dunno it's really ridiculous!But nice, right?
Tell me i'm wrong then.

And suppose she were to accept, the whole magic of the event would basically spell um happily ever after? I mean mad guy with ridiculous offer, and equally mad girl who accepts (it's a bit like believing someone who says 'i'll make you the president of a small pacific island') things might just go well!

Which brings me to my final point: Happily ever after. Does it exist? (Silly me, of course it doesn't it's not possible!)And that's just plain wrong. No, happily ever after does not happen that i admit but not because it is not possible but it is impractical.

Emotions are a relative thing not an absolute commodity. you can't call upon your mind to conjure up happiness or sadness. You can't. YOu can't feel angry unless you've felt calm. If you always felt one way you then cease to feel. That emotion either becomes you or it ceases to be an emotion because it doesn't change. YOu can't be one emotion forever, it becomes a character trait or worse it becomes so normal to you that you become numb to it and it ceases to be significant. We are angry because we want to show our displeasure, we get jealous becuase we feel hurt to a certain degree.
So emotions are just extremes with opposites. We can't feel one without feeling it's opposite. SO happily ever after will not help anyone. By getting hurt we will know what it means to love, from being sad we will know what true happines, from being angry we will know what it means to be grateful. Happily ever after would create a stale marriage or life as compared with one where the highs are so sweet they cancel out the lows almost immediately.
That si why we can't live happily ever after, to live a life we must experience botht eh lows and the highs.
Take stock and amybe you might see that every low led to a high!
