[A day that is supposedly unlike any other], by Savannah Richmond-Breeding


A day that is supposedly unlike any other 
Can easily be summed up like any other

Easter
Either a day to celebrate a savior OR
A day for spoiled children to get high of cheap bunny-shaped chocolate

Or it can be both. 
Wake up. Church. Home. Breakfast. 
Watch little kids search in earnest. Watch older, greedier kids search in lust.
Dinner. Children fight. Resolve. Bed.

It is a day of tradition nonetheless.
Each decision easily predicted the day before.
The tradition lies not in the celebration or even the day itself

The tradition is to give a day like any other some sort of extraordinary quality
Some excuse to believe that there is meaning to life

When all it truly is is a day like any other.
