Will you be a Valentine?


Across the world on the 14th of February, people celebrate love. Yeah, well they do celebrate Valentine's day too. I mean it is not just to remember Saint Valentine who was a martyr and died for the love of his kinsman. It is also to celebrate the existence of love.
In today's world where hatred in the form of human greed and jealousy is manifested widely through corruption, wars, riots and a false sense of ownership of material possessions, love is losing its meaning. And it is amongst all of this that a display of love, however seemingly insignificant it might be, shines in the dark. I daresay that you don't need just the one day for this.
If Saint Valentine didn't chose a day to die, why should you chose a day to love?
And don't buy expensive gifts if you can't. Give someone a timeless present, your Present! Because more than being just plain old green wads of money, time is also one of those things that is irrevocably gone once it is gone. So help your mom in getting things in order at home and then tell her that dinner was superb, and don't just say it but tell her what you liked in particular. Give your dad a call at work. Tell him something you'd only tell your best friend. Help a stranger. Smile when you thank someone. Love you country. Your school. Your wor... Maybe not your workplace. But your colleagues,yes.
Love your family, friends and above all youself without waiting for another day.
Just steal a moment, a day, any day and make it your Valentine's day!
