LOVE

Mid this week, the world celebrated Valentine which was quite alright (although I spent mine in class until 6pm.). It was colourful and loved filled in terms of couples or people who are dating and also people who wore the white and read {awwn! What a lovely combination ).

So many people went out on various dates, some even cheated on their spouses while some realised their real position (as it’s said, a side chick)

But how many people have come to specially analyse and realise what Valentine is really about?

Saint Valentine according to history was someone who did a selfless act of making sure Christians who were in love got married in opposition to the then Roman ruler who believed single men made strong Soldiers which of course got him beheaded.

It was quite a bit about love, quite alright but the real reason is about SELFLESS ACT. Selfless act entailing putting smile on people’s face, touching lives, helping people who are in need, affecting lives positively without really expecting something in return.

Let’s examine how we spent the Valentine day, did we really celebrate it according to the real reason or we just celebrated it according to our myopic and the world tagged meaning.

It would be nice and better if Love is channelled the right way, you have forever to make a loved one happy but you can dedicate a day making people in need or a stranger smile.
