Days and People

Dedicate a day to myself? The thought didn’t even cross my mind, ever. I don’t even like celebrating my b’day. If anyone ever dedicated a day to me, I would run and hide under the table like the times I used to do when I was a little kid. I would rather watch other people and celebrate them. They make my life worthwhile.

Then, why dedicate a day to me if given the chance? No, I wouldn’t want that. I don’t want a big head, ever, as I am neither more nor less important than the people who populate this earth. I would, however, love to have a day dedicated to humanity, a day where everyone is encouraged to behave as civilized, kindly, and loving to one another.
