"Meta-Meta-"

So I wrote this post yesterday ("Meta-") about completing one year of this blog, which got me wondering -- what is the big deal? Why is there all this fuss over birthdays, anniversaries and the like?

Yes, it's been 12 whole months today, no doubt. But yesterday, it was 11 months and 29 days, and tomorrow it will be 12 month and 1 day!

Now,
12m+1d > 12m.

So shouldn't that be a greater achievement than completing 12m? But somehow, only the 'one year completion' gets glorified. It isn't fair.
