A day that is, in almost every country, being celebrated.
Whether it be with love, hate, or somewhere in-between, this holiday is being focused upon in either a positive or negative manner. It may be redundant to even post something concerning this such day, but I feel like making my own contribution.
In this age, to many, Valentine’s day is a commercialized holiday.
It’s “true” intention is to make individuals feel one of the following:
A miserable reminder that they are single.
A happy, loving holiday to celebrate what two people share.
That it is pointless reason to celebrate love, because love is something that should be celebrated and felt everyday they are with their significant other.
And there are some that just couldn’t care less.
I don’t believe it should be seen like this.
Why?
Throughout the history (though a vague one) of this holiday there is at least one common truth to be held to this day.
February is a month of love.
And though it has been since the time of ancient Rome exclusively for those who are coupled (or at a point of the Roman Empire against coupling), I believe that it should hold a deeper reminder.
A reminder that love, for mankind and even many mammals, is something that can’t simply be put into words, phrases or fancy, over-used adjectives.
Love can be taken logically, taken apart scientifically, and put into black and white print that eliminates any emotional connection or romanticism involved till you are left with nothing but an explanation for its occurrence, but on this day I do not think that is what should be done.
I believe, it should be felt, experienced, and given.
And it does not have to be between two people.
You can share it with your family, your friends, and even people who you may not even really know. Love doesn’t just come in a romantic form, there are different kinds, and everyone has the capacity for it. Sometimes you may have to look a little harder, and a little deeper, but its there. And maybe, if we all loved each other a little more, things would be different.
I’m not asking for World Peace here. I’m not expecting all war, death, and destruction to stop at any point.
For as much as we all have the ability to love, we also have the ability to destroy.
Celebrate today. The true meaning behind this day may be lost, may be for most forgotten, but let’s not let the corporations rule this day, nor negative feelings. Revel in the concept of love, the power of it, and the true, heartfelt emotion of what it brings.
Because its part of what makes us human.
