Valentinemania

That time of the year is near again. That time when the love jingles and advertorials go high. That time when gift shops stock more teddies, roses and "all love nots." That time when all the decors in malls are only in red and white colours. That time when boutiques stock more of red and white apparels. That time when there are more events, shows and parties commemorating the love season. And ultimately that time when most ladies want to make up with their men, please them more and most of them loosing their innocence; and the men conversely showing tendencies of wanting to stay out of their relationships. That time is fourteen o'two twenty twelve. Valentine's day!

A brief background of the Valentine's day traces it back to years ago (before the 14th century) when it was likened to a day of remembrance to martyrs who were named Valentine. From the 14th century till this present day Valentine's day has been likened to romance and love; now popularly called Lovers Day.

Lovers Day, but why will a day be dedicated for the celebration of love? Love being the greatest commandment should be an every second everyday affair. An extension of love to those that lack, in need and down trodden, a support for the weak, a voice for the speechless, a hand for the helpless, feet for the cripple, eyes for the blind and the quest to put smiles on faces that need them. 

As the craze for Valentine goes high, let an equal craze and frenzy for the true show of love (agape) be shown. After all love they say is in the air, let everyone that needs it have a breathe of it. Show some LOVE people.

Happy Valentine's Day in advance.
