yep...so we absolutely have to talk about it. It's like everywhere you look there's red..whether there are ribbons or balloons, or roses...whatever, but the town is red. To satisfy my curiosity i've decided to pose this question..."what exactly is valentines and why do we do it?"...why does everyone only go the extra mile in february? Is this the only period we should show love? Is not love an every second thing?......so what's the fuss about it in february alone?
To cut it short...why now? what does valentine mean to you?....chocolates and roses...oh and teddy bears for the ladies?
What is the fuss about?

GET KNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTAND IT!!!
Wordz of knowledge from Godz Vesselz
The Power of Thought
Before you start something you must create the right thought about whatever it is that you want to do. You must align your thoughts with the project ahead of you. It is a law that you must not get involved in anything, whilst harbouring bad feelings within you about the thing, or the person that made the demand on you. (2 Corinthians 12:7-10). Find joy in the task ahead no matter how daunting it may seem, it is an opportunity for you to expand. If your heart is grieved or it has a bad feeling towards your action it nullifies the effect of what you’re doing and thus amounts to nothing (i.e. work done equals zero).Most human beings are unaware of the power of their thoughts they don’t take into cognisance the effect that the state of their hearts has upon the circumstances that surround them. As a result of this they look to their actions to make everything happen. We agree that action is an important component in the physical world, but it is not through action that you create your physical experience.When you need to perform a task you ought to know that your actions ought to be used to enjoy the experience you want to derive from it and not vice-versa. For starters you must create the thought and the feeling of the joy derived within that experience. Once these two ingredients are fulfilled you have launched the creation of that particular task. Thus, working towards its manifestation in the future ensures that from its joyful creation in your heart that you will be inspired to take the right actions and these actions will be in joy. Actions taken in the present that have not been taken in joy are true to the letter, but such a series of actions will never have a happy ending. All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that has a merry heart hath a continual feast. (Proverbs 15:15). For any fixed goal/target that you want to hit you must find joy in its achievement.Pressure and demand are the price paid by performers and as a result those that achieve results have them as constant companions initially this is not a pleasant experience but one that people must learn to handle rightly. In order to discover joy in our hearts over various tasks we must first of all pray. Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any merry? Let him sing psalms. (James 5:13)The key to joy in the midst of the situation is ‘the light of the eyes’ (the light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart) (Prov 15:30) this light is what God commanded at the beginning of His task of creation when there was only darkness and the earth was without form and void. The entrance of thy words giveth light it giveth understanding unto the simple (Ps 119:130) with this understanding the individual now knows the steps he should take. The end product is expansion and increase on every side i.e. when you walk, your steps shall not be hampered (your path will be clear and open) and when you run, you will not stumble. (Prov 4:12).

Well, am sure u don't want me to give u the history of Val from wikipedia, so let me throw wit to you the way i have understood it over the years.
Valentine like u said, is a celebration of love.. u know boyfriends give girlfriends gift and vise versa ( sometimes):) but for me after a while..even thou i neva celebrated valentine's day. i just decide to use that day to show a special kind of love to someone who is less privileged,sick or who more or less is not expecting something from anyone due to the physical or social circumstances surrounding them at that point in time, and i experience some sort of content, love and peace of mind after doing it.
I know we should show love everyday and not on Val's day but as we are in the world but not of it, and the celebration of love(vals day) is not what we should frown at(cos God is Love) but an oppurtunity to show the world exceptional ways of expressing our love..Just like Jesus did for Us.
i dont fink the concept of vals day is being frowned out or ruled out...and honestly speakin now that it's pointed out, am not sure either of us is sure y we celebrate it. not that it's bad or nefin, but rily...i guess i am curious...yea we all know the story of St Valentine (if u dont know, google it)..but i guess it is odd dat we were just born into it. Christmas and Easter are more logical to celebrate..they have worthy reasons.
