Opening one of the envelopes in the mail the postman had put through my letter box yesterday I came across this from the insurance company which deals with my car insurance - headed Birthday Offer, (although it`s not my birthday for another 48 days) I thought, Oh, what are they going to give me or treat me to.
"Birthday Offer.
Dear Ms............
We understand how, with time life insurance becomes more expensive and difficult to get. So we`re delighted to offer you an easy opportunity to get more value for money, provided you apply before your 57th. birthday. ....it can provide your loved ones with a guaranteed cash sum on your death from any cause........"
I felt quite depressed by the time I`d finished reading it all - not because they weren`t actually giving me a birthday gift, but (although I know a lot of people do unfortunately die young), I felt that to suggest that I should think about death as something for a birthday offer was unfeeling. At my birthday, I would be thinking of celebrating and remembering happy times, not looking and thinking of what could happen in the future.
Needless to say, I shan`t be accepting their offer!

Birth and death are like brothers ...but there is no need to think about both at the same time,we can not prevent our death so we should just enjoy our life and it's beauties
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
