Truth behind Valentines

The primary motive behind Valentines is money. And plenty of it! Hallmark is cleverly cashing in on the sales of Valentines Day greeting cards. The same with people who sell flowers, Candy and cute cuddly bears. They all do this under the guise of something called Love.

They do this while making single people feel sad, degrading them. Society forces you to feel inadequate and less of a person because you are not involved in a "relationship". They alienate you because you choose to be celibate. They ostracize you because you are content with a romantic less relationship. They surround you with sickening displays of kissing, cupids, hearts, and public displays of affection until it forces you to puke!

Valentines has a bad effect on the general population of the human race. For example, instead of pleasantly surprising someone you care. People now expect gifts to be exchanged in a Valentine's ritual. Giving gifts to make someone feel special should have personal motives (motives of honestly trying to make that person feel good) not a ritual because society and people around you expect it.

When it comes down to it Valentines is a overrated capitalistic invention by Hallmark to make money with sick side affects of lowering self-esteem of many individuals.

The excess baggage that is attached with Love.

• Compromising one self ***
• We are weakened by relying on another person.
• Losing ones creative edge.
• Consuming - Takes over ones life.
• Smothers out happiness and creativity.
• Lowers a person and their potential.
• Lowering of ones funds.
• Basic complications related to relationships period!

How many times have you wanted to hang out with your friend only to find out that they HAVE to spend time with their lover?

What you can do on Valentines.

Short Term strategies:  

1. Three words ... get pissed drunk. Getting drunk is an easy way to make valentines tolerable.
2. Dress in all black. Don't dress like a bum wear nice clothe
3. Make an Anti-Valentines page of your own. Flood the network with anti-valentines!
4. Stop and tell the people who are kissing, hugging on the streets to go get a room you are making me sick!
5. Preach the word of L.I.E.!
6. Hold an Anti-Valentines day party

Long term strategies: 
 

1. Make many quality friends as possible. This way you won't be alone
2. be honest to your self
3. be honest to others do not play the ritualistic games (for example I am usually very direct).
4. honestly care about people
5. Ally your self with others like you to fight evil

In conclusion:

We love because we are trained to love we are trained to think in ways, which make us dishonest and evil. We do horrid things to people in the name of love and we hurt many by playing these elaborate ritualistic games. Couples in relationships get into hypocritical habits of saying "I love you" no instead maybe they should say I will not always love you, because love will die and so will you! (Why do we have such a high rate of divorces when love is so bonding?) By nature humans are unfaithful. Fighting this, throw off the chains would mean defying the unwritten rules of our society. It would mean being alienated and alone on Valentines Day.

I am not an advocator of hate. Or even HATE LOVE. I do love the love you have for friends, pets, god and family. This love is stronger, stable and many times more honest then romantic love. It is often referred to as brotherly love.

How I came to this conclusion:

After years of living in a daze and feeling lost and disconnected I came to realize the blessing of my once sheltered life. Coming to college and being exposed to people/life I had to cope, understand and finally accept the world I live in. It saddened me to realize the truth, I thought for sure there was something more to this world then this shit-hole I'm living in. So right now I'm just trying to focus on getting by. Focusing on trying to live my life and trying to understand with how this big world can make One feel so small.
