Personally, I don’t like following the bandwagon. For the mere fact that more than half of the world population thinks Valentine celebration is worth it doesn’t make it right.
I’ve always wondered if anyone paused to ask questions about this over-hyped Valentine’s Day thing. I’ve never seen any thread seeking to ask questions about Val either. Rather, everyone keeps thinking and suggesting on how to make their long awaited Val Day worthwhile.
Well, for me, I’ve heard stories that the government at the time of Father Valentine made a Decreeforbidding young men to get married but rather to join the army. But Father Valentine, unknown to the government was secretly conducting marriages and charging fees too.
So the government heard about this and ordered his arrest. He was immediately put behind bars and allowed to rot in jail.
Today, he is celebrated as one who died for love! The question now is: If this story is true, is this man worth celebrating? Did he actually die for love or for his own self interest? Even if the story ain’t true, and he actually died for love, is what he did greater than what Jesus Christ did? Can’t we be celebrating Jesus Christ everyday?
Well, for me, it really ain’t worth the buzz/noise.. cos love should be shown to everyone each day of our lives.
