Valentines Day, one of the days on the calendar where Hallmark suggest you should tell that special someone how much you really love someone by buying her a nice card. It is the day of the year jewelry stores suggest if you really want to show your love you will get her a nice gift, more specifically from their store. It is the day of the year candy shops stock up, because if you really love someone, you will be sure to buy their favorite candy for them.
Now some of you may be thinking the reason your being so pessimistic Dr. J, is because your one of the lonely people on a day which should be renamed Single Awareness Day. But the truth is if you did not know this, Valentines Day is indeed a commercialized holiday.
I am going to make it brief but please heed my point. There is nothing wrong with doing nice things for the people you love, in fact I would hope you would be doing it. But nice things don’t mean you have to go out and buy all this stuff. When two people are in love they should already be showing each other how much they love each other every day and it should not take a commercialized day on the calendar to do so.
Valentines day sends out the bad vibe if you love someone you will buy them something and so many people fall into that trap. Again, while it is not wrong to get your special someone something nice, why do you pick this day in particular? How often do you get something nice for them when it is not a commercialized holiday?
People, you don’t need a day on the calendar to show your love for them. Valentines day and other days like it are made by companies so you will spend your money, with lies if you don’t buy there is no love. And what is worse there are people who buy into the idea if they don’t get something then they are not loved.
What there needs to be in a true relationship is a genuine love everyday. You don’t need a day on the calendar to show your love. You should be doing it every single day and although you can treat them to something nice if you want to, there are so many ways to show your love without spending your money. If your going to be spending Valentines Day with someone, make sure it is all about the love, not the material things of trying to please your lover on a day which was set up by corporations
