Valentine’s Day is a
popular global feast that is becoming increasingly popular in India over the
years. It is celebrated on February 14 in Gregorian calendar. The symbols of Valentine
Day are flowers, cupid, arrows, love birds, the colour red and hearts. Hearts
symbolize Love. It is also a symbol of life. Giving one’s heart to another
person, so to speak, is the ultimate expression of love. Valentine’s Day is a
day to express one’s love to one’s loved ones. Please note that we are not wild or domestic animals doing whatever we
feel like to do; there is something called law which every citizen should abide
by. We are not only emotional beings but rational and social beings; we, therefore,
need to follow laws or rules of the society. We should not go with the winds of
the crowd either, but do anything with at least some dept reasonable conviction.
Are we afraid that our
rich culture will die by celebrating love day? Is our culture so weak and fragile?
I don't understand, why should not we celebrate Love day if we can celebrate
any other feast like Diwali or Id etc.? Here
are some important solid reasons why we should celebrate Valentine’s Day. They
are:-
1. Valentine
day is a feast of Love. Every human being wants to love and to be loved.
Everyone has right to love and right to express love too.
2. Every culture or religion invites
us to Love. And God is love and we share that divinity of God in us. So we
ought to love and to be loved.
3. Valentine day is a global feast of
love. Every religion or culture celebrates Love in a variety of ways. It
happens to be celebrated Love day on 14th Feb only because St. Valentine,
who showed true love, was murdered on that day, so in honour of that true love,
we celebrate it on that day. Any society can celebrate Love day on any fixed
day. It depends on a society or a religion or a community or a state.
4. It should be celebrated because
married or unmarried couple can renew their love to one another on this day. Valentine
day can be a good day for any couple to have a quality time with their loved
ones. They can relive on this day their commitment to love, cherishing the
beautiful moments of their love life.
5. If Valentine day is celebrated
properly, many divorces or other love problems could be solved. By celebrating
this day, the couple can strengthen their friendship and love. They can forgive
and forget one another’s misconduct too on this day.
6. It
is a day to give one’s heart to another person so to say, give oneself fully to
the other.
7. Every
culture has a binary pole- good and evil. We need to acculturate good cultures
of others and banish the evil practices of our culture. So that we can build a
better global world to live in.
The above reasons, therefore, strongly support that we should
celebrate ‘Valentine Day’. It is a day of love. We should celebrate love. By
celebrating this love, we will know the true meaning and true value of love. So
friends let us celebrate Valentine’s Day and grow in love.
