No Hearts For You!
Feb 16, 2007
I really do not understand why you people do not get it. I really do not. If displaying wealth in front of those who do not have it is obscene, so is flaunting your girl-friend in front of so many of us consigned to eternal bachelorhood. While these lovers stroke each other’s hands in full public view, how do you think we, whose hands have nothing else to stroke except ourselves, feel? If we cannot enjoy, why should we let anyone else?
PWNED! Hey, wait! I thought Valentine's Day was about Western cultural imperialism? Think of all those victims of love!

It was like unnecessary mocking by the have-beens of the never-hads which in simpler words mean that a rich man making fun of the poor or like a person in a car making fun of the people walking on the street, or a person eating sweets in front of a person having diabetes or a lot of discriminatory reason I can think of. Lets say I can project myself as a real bechara here but the fact does not changes. I have nothing to do on Valentine Day.
:(
Well there are up sides and down sides. I do think it's a bit heartless the way westerners flaunt affection in front of others with no thought to the affect on the lonely.
But one of the up sides is that everyone comes to understand that their own reactions are their own resonsibility. Americans, more than anyone in the world, take responsibility to control our own jealousy, envy, even our lust. We don't have problems to the extent they do in Egypt where women are harrassed or raped walking down the street.
