Are you sure we should call that immoral and not apathetic ? This is important issue. Cause I think the society by and large is apathetic and not immoral. It would be a very strict yardstick to call it immoral. Anyways ,without fussing over what's immoral and what's apathetic, I think...

I mean ,no offences to those who find birthdays are great , but I don't quite feel the same on my birthday these days as when I used to feel when I was 10 years old.I am 24 years old now. Come to think of it a birthday simply means how many revolutions one has completed around the sun. How is...
