Feb 14

Tomorrow (or right now elsewhere on the planet) is February 14. Valentine's Day.

While I like the ideas behind this holiday, I hate almost everything in it. It has basically become a commercial reasoning pushing people to buy stuff. If you don't you look like you don't really love your significant other, or that you are too cheap to do anything. (I've got deeper more intimate reason to hate this day but I'll keep that is for another day.)

The best gift you can give on this day is the one that doesn't cost any money, it's what's missing in most couple.:

Time and Attention.

Show you care. Any material gift will probably buy you time or a little peace of mind, but it's only short lived. Quality time together can hardly be bought but the memories can last a lifetime...
