 "Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself." CHARLIE CHAPLIN  Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. David Whyte        This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts. |
| Prompt: Valentine's Day. Write about your thoughts about Valentines Day. ---------- Valentine's Day is for expressing love and affection and for celebrating relationships. Like any other celebration, Valentine's Day has its positives and negatives. On the plus side, the day is for celebrating love in all its forms, which may strengthen bonds between partners, friends, and family members, although Valentine's Day is usually centered on romantic love. It is always a good move to take a break from our busy schedules and focus on relationships. Yet, it is not only the relationships or any social connection. Valentine's Day with its gift giving customs impacts the economy, too, and store owners and others mostly use this day for gains in wealth. Then, this day may encourage creativity, also. When in need of funds, many people craft handmade gifts, heartfelt notes, and come up with unique experiences. On the negative side, disappointment from expecting and not getting grand gestures and perfects moments can darken people's moods. In addition, this celebration can cause emotional stress for people who have had breakups, loss of a partner, or other problems related to love and relationships. The day may bring about a negative effect on the environment as well, due to the waste generated by the packaging and discarded items. Despite its negatives, however, I think of Valentine's Day to be a joyous occasion. After all, whatever can bring people together and can strengthen their existing bonds is a welcome effect for our society. Happy Valentine's Day, today! |
