To many this post might sound unrealistic but its good to sometimes express even the most unrealistic views.
Valentine Day or rather known as Saint Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14 by many people throughout the world.The holiday named after two among the numerous Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. This is the day they became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.
In the West, the day serves as the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery.But the day is not only limited to the west where christianity is followed but rather even by the christian influenced cultures do honour it.
Personally, am not against the celebrating of the day,but the most interesting thing about the day is that some value it and honour it too much during their life and through out their relationship
And here now comes my big question about the day,do we have to only show and express the extent of our love to our partner only on the 45th day of the 365 days of the year?Why can't we be giving our appriciation to our partner on daily basis and expressing our love on every occassion?
Many will oppose the above point and argue that isn't as the way i view the day,but am sure in the currrent generation in the society this is what the day stands for.
On the other hand, some view the day as not useful and i partially agree with them,to those who feel so their main arguement point will be: 'This was just a day when two particular persons fell in love for the first time and expressed their love for each other,so what has it to do with me and my partner particularly when we have been together long before even the day(feb.14).'
Well,that can be a good point but as everyone does celebrate the day i guess we have to just do it for formality reasons but keeping in mind that the day is nothing more than the usual days that passby daily.
So whether you agree with me or disagree please let me hear your views and what the day means to you as a person and what it means to your lover?
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

Dear Jeff, thank you for this interesting post. I agree with it, except for the last part: why should we "have to just do it for formality reasons" [celebrating v.day, of course] if we don't see any reason for doing it?
