Greetings good citizen, Happy Valentine's Day! Prolly not the best day to kick you in the shins but most of you will spend a few bucks on flowers and a card and call the job done when the single most important thing you need to do for that special someone in your life is assure them you love them.
There are words and there are deeds. How sad is it that most of you aren't perceptive enough to pick up on the things your loved ones go out of their way to do to demonstrate they truly do love you.
A single hug can turn that all around, with deeds being far more 'genuine' than words, which often ring hollow.
Again with the 'dumb'. Sacrificing to present the object of your affection with a gift is service to 'infatuation' and not 'love'.
Often we don't love those who love us and that is the true tragedy of this dreary holiday.
J. Geils said it best in the intro to his chartbuster 'Love Stinks!'
Do yourself a favor and examine your sphere for signs of who genuinely cares for you and who is 'just along for the ride'.
You may be shocked to find you've been 'wasting' your affection on someone that doesn't care at all...
Um, Valentines has a rocky place in my personal history. Today marks the 63rd anniversary of my father becoming permanently disabled in an on the job accident. Is karma being its usual twisted self to have conspired to introduce me to my life partner on this same day 30 years later?
Politicians like to claim that more education will solve society's problems and the incels complain that nobody returns their affection but I would posit that Valentine's Day is the single most important holiday on the calendar because what is more precious than love?
Nothing.
If there is one thing the world is mis-educated about it is the importance of love to both the individual and to the health of society.
Conservatism preaches hatred of anything different despite those differences being subtle. Comply or Die leaves no room for understanding.
It's not faith but LOVE that moves mountains and conquers all.
There isn't anything the smitten wouldn't do (or die trying) for Love.
While it may not be obvious to you, I do what I do because I love you!
