It's quite rare for me to write this type of thing actually, but we can't ignore it completely out of our lifes. Valentine's day, we see people exchanging gifts or confessing about their loves to one another. But why do people have this tradition passed on for so many generations? Valentine did not do a lot like Einstein did to contribute to society. He did not invent the light bulb or find the equations of motion. We never have a Thomas Edison day. I highly suspect that it is a conspiracy by the businesses. They need this type of days, to make more money. The florist down the road just couldn't have survive for so long if this day don't exist. Chocolate factories are having Valentine's Day special for couples. They are like it or not, using us. Just this time, more than ever. So if you think you are a big winner having gotten the girl or guy you like, think again. The true winners are the one selling the gifts. Come to think of it, if you really like the girl, any day could be your day of confession, why Valentine's? Herd mentality is the problem, if everyone does it, I feel more assure thinking. But this herd mental kills a lot of people too, especially on the stock market. The reason why so many jumped when there is a breakdown of the economy. In life there are always two side to things, but we all have different perspective. Which is why humans never get along.
Anyway if you are thinking how I do during this day. I received some gifts of my own, thanks to all those who bother giving me something. Compared to last time in high school, if someone gives you a card or chocolate, you better run for it.
