*The gift of Dhamma is no match with any other gifts, the taste of Dhamma is no match with any other taste, living with Dhamma in enjoyment is no match with any other living, and the victory over craving conquers all sufferings. *
One day is exactly the same for me as any other day. I'm neither happy nor unhappy about the coming new year. So instead of saying 'Happy New Year' to you, I would rather say 'Happy every day', if such a thing could be. It is the same for me with my birthday; I don't know why I should feel happier on my birthday. But I don't mind people saying 'Happy Birthday to you'.
One day is the same as another . Sometimes I lose track of what day, date or month it is. Sometimes I don't look at a calendar for weeks to check. Time goes by unnoticed; days slip away quietly. Very soon this life will be over. But don't worry, you'll have many more lives. So take your time, take it easy. Why be in such a hurry?
