Valentines Day

With a couple days left, everyone is looking for the perfect gift to buy, to show how they feel about their significant other. While others are looking for cupid to work his magic, and strike them with a dosage of love. Valentines Day was a holiday dating back to the early Christians 496 AD. I believe that Valentines Day is a holiday that is a consumer's holiday, because it focuses on the materialistic aspect of love, instead of the feeling and thought that goes into loving someone. Yes, it’s important to buy gifts, to show how you feel about your lover, but to me it’s the icing on the cake, because love is not based solely on that. It’s the feeling and joy one gets when their around someone. Its something that gifts can't put into words. Why dedicate one day to love, when love should be expressed on a periodic basis. Remember the love is based on feelings and emotions, and that is something that the most expensive can never replace. In my opinion, Valentines Day is a day for the consumer to capitalize on the lonely hearted, who is looking for someone to love them.
