A couple of days ago, I've met my bestfriend in a mall. She wants to buy a valentine's gift for her boyfriend, ofcourse. She picked a teddy (this teddy could say some words with my bestfriend's voice in 3 minutes duration). 
I'm a little bit shocked at the beginning because I never knew she's really expecting a valentine's silly ritual. As far as I known her, valentine's never listed in her calendar.
Well, finally I got the answer. It's her boyfriend who wants to celebrate a valentine.
"I'm just having fun and I'm not taking it seriously", she said.
Okay.
Yes, it's sweet to have some chocolates in a pretty box, a romantic candle light dinner, dozen of roses in a special day. But I get dissappointed when I asked some of friends about what is so special in a valentine's day. Most of them told me, "It's a celebration of love".
Celebration of love, huh? Let's see..
We all know that love is an essential aspect in life. Love from our parents, from friends, from siblings, from teachers, lovers..or anyone.
And when religions tought us to pray to our God, every prayers contained a deep thankfulness of life, love, everything God's given to us.
Is valentine's day another symbolization? Just like Mother's Day?
If it's so, let's create Tear's Day (it also essential in our life, don't you think?), or..Reflection's Day (furthermore, no one ever said to me that Yoga or meditation isn't good for your body and spirit)
