I have heard the same argument over and over again year after year - Valentine’s Day is all about commercialism, well, I think that those who subscribe to this argument are sad human beings. Instead, why don’t they make this argument: Valentine’s Day is a wonderful excuse for people to do something wonderfully special and nice for another.
Valentine’s Day is just a special day to show that special person how much we love them, or that they are special to us.
Valentine’s Day doesn’t need to turn into a contest – who gives the biggest or most expensive gift – it should be about giving that special someone what makes them feel special and happy.
One rose or flowers bought from the guy on the street can mean just as much as a bouquet professionally arranged by a florist – after all, it isn’t about us, it is about them. When the gift is given with the right sentiment, the receiver won’t be asking you how much it cost, only how much you cared about them or how much they are loved by you because you took the time, and made the effort to get it for them.
We don’t need one day out of the year to show someone that we love them or that they are special to us, Valentine’s Day strips us of our shyness and inhibitions about expressing it.
We can SHOUT our feelings to the world and the world celebrates with us!
HAPPY VALENTINE’s DAY to my family and all my Facebook friends!
