What is the real reason for Valentine's Day? In the Catholic Church it's to celebrate the life of Saint Valentine, he who officiated marriages at a time when marriage was banned because it was belives that single men made better soldiers.
Yet we celebrate this holiday by purchasing expensive gifts for the people we love? It'll never make sense to me, I would rather show my loved ones how I feel about them all year long, and not by buying their happiness on "holidays".
Anyone who requires expensive gifts to feel loved or wanted, anyone who makes you feel like that is the only way for you to make them feel that way, isn't for you. Materialistic people are precisely what's wrong with this generation. Love is a feeling you get about a person you care about, not because they have money and can take you places or buy you things, but because the way they treat you makes you feel like your the only person for them.
Think about it.
