The year has 365 days (366). Every single day - save one - we can be mean, vulgar, disrespectful, dishonorable, lying and cheating to our wives, mothers and fathers.
That day is either Valentine's day, Mother's day or Father's day. These are the days when we supposed to be nice! All other days we can be ourselves. This is what the law says as written on the numerous Hallmark cards.
If one can not be nice to his or her loved one every day of the year then what will one day do? This is just like confession in the church. Someone commits something bad then confesses it to a priest who in turn absolves him or her. Then the cycle begins!
I believe that Hallmark is behind k so called holidays. They need reasons to sell their cards. In my time I never heard of Valentine's Day, Fathers Day or Halloween. The only remembrence we used to have was Mother's Day and it was (and still is) the first Sunday in May.
All this means that we only have to buy flowers, candies etc. one time a year? Pretty stupid if you ask me.
As you might have guessed, today is Valentine's Day. Abigail got up early, took the dog for a walk then went to our nearby flower shop and bought flowers for her mom. I think it was pretty nice of her.
But then tomorrow, it will be tomorrow, by then all bets are off. Everything is back to normal! This is what I meant.
