Rarely does a human being get to observe more birthdays than their life expectancy. And this prospective reality of observing the date of our birth later on in life as an occasion, represents cause for marking the milestone in our respective lives as a day when we take stock of all the good instances that have come our way while we must also chose to equally acknowledge the designs of harm invoked upon us by bad souls that come our way.
The instances of betrayal and disappointment form part of any person’s year from the date of their previous birthday until the next. And this undeniable fact of having to endure the harm meted our way as a consequence the criminal conspiracy that has deigned owing to the common intentions of one’s enemies can only be quelled by the resilience that a person holds within their fortitude and indomitable will.
In the same way, my own instance of regenerating fortitude this year on the occasion of my birthday on the 24th May marks a milestone of life where I was not only able to see the perpetrators of hatred against me, but I was also able to perceive the design of hatred that was invoked upon me by ill-wishers who experience their own degrees of human inferiority.
Nothing could be more poignant than to witness the evil intentions of the responsible persons who were entrusted with a person’s medical care and well being in the state of Goa while undergoing simple medical procedures, and thereafter these same purported healers choose to neglect the patient’s physical integrity and let the will power to heal dissipate into a state of necrotising delirium just because they felt intimidated from admitting the truth of their neglectful demeanour towards the helplessness.
Consequent to mannerisms that are calculated to dispel the truth of the criminality which has to be invariably attributed to an act of intentional neglect, the very same quest towards justiciability for the neglect so caused now faces a further justification by perpetrators of injustice acting under the garb of blind revenge in the furtherance of their evil designs.
Therefore, when an act of intentional neglect subsequently gets shrouded by extraneous justifications by actors operating within the limited spheres of deniability, the phoenix that rests within the ashes of the person’s soul who has been so deeply hurt bears no other option than to rise from the embers of the fires that were burnt upon unjust ambitions of selfish persons seeking to cause a furtherance of the conspiracy. The reincarnation of hope in these instances remains so fierce and true that no degree of motivated hindrance shall be able to impede the avenging spirit that the steadfastness of the hurt person denominates within his existential dedication.
And this realisation shall be sufficient to mark the milestone in one’s life wherein a birthday shall be the starting point in this race of eliciting the truth and inculcating an obligation of responsibility upon the neglectful persons who brought on this hurtful instance in the life of the person who only wanted to survive and experience life in simplicity. The oncoming wave of imposing penal liability upon the negligent wrongdoers and their paradoxical agents would now have to be in the form of a wrath of conscience of such magnanimous certainty that even destiny would pause for karma to align with this selfless quest of bringing to justice not only the naysayers but even the abettors and the accomplices.
Therefore, anniversaries in one’s life should inevitably cause an introspection into one’s own existence on the occasion of their birthday as these as the instances in life where it becomes necessary to take stock of who has hurt us and who deserves an ungodly hurting at the expense of one’s amusement.
And thereafter, when the introspection shall completely cause the self awareness to awake within on the auspicious occasion of one’s birthday, the virtue of self-actualisation shall imperatively wake up and begin to strive in the direction of avenging those who cause wrongdoing as an endurance upon the soul. This should always be the order of defining human existence that is warm blooded and conscionable, for otherwise we remain mere cold blooded reptiles with exploitative instincts that tend to the vice of selfishness. Don’t be that!
According to John Cuddeback (2022) in his article entitled: The Pressing Importance of Celebrating Birthdays published on life-craft.org, this Professor of Philosophy observes:
“It’s not that celebrating birthdays is by its nature important for human life. There were societies or cultures where this was not a practice. I do not assert that birthday celebrations are an irreplaceable way of affirming and rejoicing in life. Other cultures expressed such affirmation and joy in other ways…My assertion is that celebrating birthdays well has greater significance in our current circumstances. Why? In brief, on the one hand we lack contexts and customs that focus on the gift of life, and on the other strong forces undermine our sense of self and the goodness of life.”
But even then, what does someone do on their birthday when the marking of their life’s milestone in that anniversary year of their birth lies imbued with the hurt and horrid experiences that were cast upon the soul by neglectful people. The simple answer lies in rededicating one’s life towards eliciting the truth at an alarming pace so that the wrath of justice may befall those who felt that they could pull it off and no one would ever know.
Truth and transparency ought to govern one’s life in every pursuit notwithstanding the magnitude of the pursuit and birthdays are no exception. So exemplary living should always remain the ethos of longevity for otherwise what good are we if we choose to suppress our pure retaliation against vindictiveness?
