Some thoughts on the upcoming Valentine's day.
So Valentine's day is coming. Millions of couples are going to celebrate this day. I won't. It isn't because I am single. It's because I celebrate my love every day of the Year. I don't remember my loved one only this particular day; the 14th of February.

Quote from en.wikipedia.org

"Valentine's Day or Saint Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14 by many people throughout the world. In the West, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery. The holiday is named after two among the numerous Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished."

I think it's childish to celebrate that day. Do we need a day to celebrate our love? Well I am against any "special" day like Mother's day, Father's day, Aids day, Environment day etc. I think that everyday should be Mother's day, Father's day etc. Everyday we should care for other people, show our love, protect the environment, give charity etc.

Many would say: "What's wrong with it? We would like to celebrate!". OK you can do it, but remember that there are many people that will profit from this day. Many people have named this day as "Florist's day" or "Pastry cook's day". They are not wrong. Florists and Pastry Cooks make thousands of dollars on that day! It's not bad for people to earn, but why be a victim of that day? You can buy flowers cheaper on "casual" days to show your love!

So I would advice you to love your soulmate everyday as much as you could! Have you ever bought flowers on a casual day to your loved one? Have you seen their reaction? It's far better than Valentine's day because they are not expecting the flowers from you!

One last thing! I hope that the 14th of February will be a casual day for you! A casual day full of love like all others!

Enjoy your love today, don't wait until 14th of February!

对于即将到来的情人节的一些想法。

情人节就这样到来了。成千上万的情侣都要庆祝这个日子。我不会的。这不是因为我是单身，是因为一年的每一天我都庆祝我的爱情。我并不只是在这个特殊的日子—— 2 月 14 日才记起我所爱的人。

　“情人节或者神圣的情人节是在二月十四日被世界各地许多人庆祝的节日。在西方，这是情侣们通过发送情人节卡片、赠送鲜花或者奉献糖果来相互表达爱情的传统日子。这个节日是由于在许多早期基督教殉道者之中两个名叫瓦伦丁的人而命名的。在中世纪鼎盛时代杰利弗 乔叟的循环圈中，这一天变成与浪漫的爱情关联起来，当时活跃着典雅爱情的传统。”

我认为庆祝这一天是幼稚的。我们需要一个庆祝我们爱情的日子吗？而且我反对任何“特别的”日子，像母亲节、父亲节、艾滋病日、环境日等等。我认为每天都应该是母亲节、父亲节等。我们每天都应该关心别人，显示我们的爱，保护环境，捐助慈善机构等等。

很多人可能说:“这有什么毛病吗？我们愿意庆祝!”。是的，你可以这样做。但是记住，有许多人将得益于这个日子。许多人将这一天称作为“花店节”或者“糕点厨师节”。他们都没有错。花商和糕点厨师在那一天能挣成千上万美元。这对于挣钱的人们来说是不错的，但是为什么要成为那一天的受骗者呢？你可以在“随意”哪一天买到更便宜的花朵来表达你的爱嘛!

所以我建议你每天都要尽可能地爱你的知己！你曾经在偶然的一天为你所爱的人买过鲜花吗？你看过他们的反应吗？会远比情人节更好一些，因为他们没有料到来自你的鲜花！

最后一件事！我希望在 2 月 14 日对你是一个随意的日子！一个像其它日子一样充满爱心的随意的日子!

今天就享有你的爱吧，不要等到 2 月 14 日！
