In cyberspace this is cause for a celebration though I am pretty sure in the wider world where people think a little more clearly it is probably cause for nothing.

Why anyone would enjoy altering their mental state beats me but then I have a lot of natural euphoria that probably makes me absurd.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Countries use celebrations to cement the national identity, \u00a0and anything that brings people together (most notably sport) is appropriated as an excuse for low level nationalist sentiment. Now I am smiling so far my idea of celebrations is awful!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Anniversaries are times to promote all kinds of things from birthdays to world peace. I am quite fond of celebrating the lives of important thinkers, but I find the celebrating of changes in one&#8217;s own life a little strange but then I am not that ego centric and as I will never retire from anything I have no great life changes to celebrate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I think every morning a celebration. Every breath a wonder. Many times we forget that perhaps the Universe celebrates us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been writing \u00a0these short pieces for two hundred days.
