"Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver." - Barbara de Angelis
Happy Valentine's Day everybody! Our school was crazy today - I think everyone caught the love bug - boys wearing pink, every girl wandering the halls clutching a rose, singing valentines delightfully disrupting our classes, and chocolate fillin gus up until tomorrow's breakfast.
But as the roses whither and the kisses and hugs leave tingling memories, I wonder - why does it take a commercialized holiday to make everyone pronounce their love for each other? If everybody behaved the way they do on Valentine's Day, everyday, wouldn't we acheive world peace pretty quickly?
Can't we love each other even when chocolate companies don't force us to?
Maybe we need hate to appreciate love. Maybe we need the rest of the days to fight to forgive on February 14.
I made my baby brother a Valentine's Day card. It said "We love Jeffrey." And he made me one that said, "We love Jenny".
Now that's true love. PS: did you know the postage stamp is increasing again?! Good god. |
