A very Happy St. Valentine's Day to you all. For a more historical perspective, please visit Wiki
Valentine's Day has evolved into a celebration of love. Love, in all its varying forms, is the most complex of human emotions. An emotion that can bring happiness in one's life as much as it can bring sadness. It can be linked to both joy and sorrow, to smiles & tears, to peace & to anger.
Though more commercialized today, love has become a commodity more than an emotion. There is still a group of old-schoolers who believe in the orthodox definitions of purity & sacrifice in love. The rest are just there to cash in. In today' world, love has contorted into a feeling that is not complete without physical intimacy. Most of the cases of so-called 'lovers' that I see are in it just for the intimacy, nothing else.
And mainstream commercialization takes its pride in putting a price to everything. So your love is not true till you have gifted that 100$ teddy bear, or that 50$ bunch of roses. Putting a price on love is most certainly not romantic.
Having said that, what is the one thing I'd want to do most with the person I love? Spend some quality time with her, maybe go out on a beach, or a small trek, or a long drive. A gift definitely indicates how special that person is for you, but it certainly does not mean that a gift is all it takes to love or not love a person.
And before I leave, here's some fodder for your thought on the day when love is the biggest celebrity of all :
"People walk around today calling everyone their best friend, the term doesn't have any meaning anymore. Mere acquaintances are lavished with hugs & kisses upon a second or at most a third meeting, birthday cards get passed around offices so everybody can scribble a snippet of sentimentality for a colleague they barely met, and everyone just loves everyone. As a result when you tell somebody you love them today, it isn't much heard..." -Allan Shore, Boston Legal
