By the time someone is 40 they would have probably heard of at least 40 different ways of being wished on a birthday.
When I passed forty I dropped pretense, ’cause men like women who got some sense.
― Maya Angelou
The proverb above has expressed the sentiment too well, hasn’t it? By the age of 40, a person has seen almost anything and everything. From births to deaths, marriages and divorces, etc. But it’s not as bad as it sounds. In fact, by this age a strange stability begins to settle in. You are no longer chasing girls, or jobs, or completing your education. After decades of running and chasing, life is finally getting on track. Probably that is the reason why W. B. Pitkin once said, “Life begins at forty.” All the foolishness is already out of the system. And the person has got in and out of silly predicaments and which has prepared them for almost everything.
If all that doesn’t call for a celebration, I don’t know what does. It’s time to let down your hair and enjoy a party with the loved ones.
