You have to consider the historical context - without wirting of your own, you'd be open to foreign influences and lose your identity. Developing your own script is not only tool for greater independence, but a weapon too - a weapon of cultural expansion. And it's also a good way to unite one's people around something.

Furthermore, letters used to have encoded symbolic meanings back in medieval times (mostly in the religious sense). Today they don't, but there's plenty of recovered literature on this subject.

Last but not least, it's not just about the letters - May 24th is a celebration of our culture in general ;)
