I hate Valentine's Day

I don't know if it is a debate or a discussion.. .

When you are born you are bombarded with elements of love. Your parents tell you that when you grow up your going to get a family of your own .Little girls are brought up to play house, take care of baby dolls, and cook with play doe. Society is carefully bringing our children up to play the game. The media surround you with love stories, love triangles and Melrose Place. The media bombards you with sex putting the pursuit of it into your young mind.

Soon your peers are pushed into having boyfriends / girlfriends and the elaborate rituals are developed. These rituals produce many pretentious and dishonest people; soon our young lives are occupied with the "game". This is especially true of college students as they tend be young pupils to the "game" (don't get me wrong not just college students play this game) These students confuse the search of Sex (driven by the nature element: Human Desire) with the search for a mate (the mate apparently push by parents and society) and happiness.

Unfortunately this is a very true diagram. People fool them selves in to thinking love is what they need.. Then the need for love rationalizes Date/Sex (maybe if I have sex with him then he'll love me!). I've observed many victims falling into this endless cycle. I believe happiness (being content is the hardest to attain) is being able to recognize who you are and what you are here for. Being able to live with your self is the solution.

People are driven to the madness because they are afraid. They are afraid to be alone. They see all their friends going out with someone and are obviously very happy (not the complete truth!). Single feel alienated and left out. Soon they will reason with themselves that they do NEED someone to be with. Someone to occupy their time and energy. People in general are lazy and they fall into comfortable habits. Love can be this way too. The next time you say, "I love you" to someone maybe you should think about why you are saying it.

h2>Truth behind Valentines

Valentines has a bad effect on the general population of the human race. For example, instead of pleasantly surprising someone you care. People now expect gifts to be exchanged in a Valentine's ritual. Giving gifts to make someone feel special should have personal motives (motives of honestly trying to make that person feel good) not a ritual because society and people around you expect it. The primary motive behind Valentines is money. And plenty of it! Hallmark is cleverly cashing in on the sales of Valentines Day greeting cards. The same with people who sell flowers, Candy and cute cuddly bears. They all do this under the guise of something called Love.

They do this while making single people feel sad, degrading them. Society forces you to feel inadequate and less of a person because you are not involved in a "relationship". They alienate you because you choose to be celebate. They ostracize you because you are content with a romantic less relationship. They surround you with sickening displays of kissing, cupids, hearts, and public displays of affection until it forces you to puke!

We are modern humans, we should be intelligent to distinguish between lust and what people call love.
