Pessimists say that Valentine's Day is too commercial and just a plot by greeting card companies to make a fortune. One day devoted to the celebration of love is not much to ask for, considering the amount of negative karma that is out in there in the real world. I believe there is a romantic in all of us. That's why corny movies like When Harry Met Sally will always have an audience. Valentine's Day is for that romantic side.
Many people believe that V-day is only for the romantic type of love.
These are the same type of people who wallow in self pity if they happen to be single around this time of year. But just think back to the best Valentine's Day you've ever had. For me, it was in Mrs. Ramirez's third grade class. I received about 30 small white envelopes from classmates. Everyone was just a little kinder to each other and that made the day special.
