So why do we celebrate birthdays? In the case of kids, the reason is obvious: a birthday is a marker of progress. But for the rest of us, cliche'd as this is, the only progression most birthdays mark is the progression towards death. That sure as hell isn't a cause for celebration. So why the traditions and party? I think it's to make losing another year down the drain slightly less miserable.
