5th Revolution: I am not amused

Feb 14, 2009 14:04

I've never understood the entire point behind this day. For one day out of the year, people like to spend extravagant amounts of money in order to prove just how much they love one another.

... actually, that's a pretty nice way of putting it.

[Voice] child_radical February 15 2009, 03:08:52 UTC

Thanks...I just had a lot of time to think about the subject amongst other things back home.

[Voice] revengeisalie February 15 2009, 03:16:52 UTC

And do you think that's a good thing?

I don't think it's a bad holiday per se, though. Of course, people shouldn't forget about love for the rest of the year, but a day in celebration of it can't do much hurt.

Telling people that you care for them on a day made to celebrate the act is fine, it's just the mass commercialization that cheapens the belief is when I believe that it's not a good thing.

Only until its nearly too late for change to have any affect.

[Voice] revengeisalie February 15 2009, 03:54:44 UTC

Better late than never, though.

[Voice] child_radical February 15 2009, 03:57:31 UTC

True enough. You're quite insightful, what's your name?

[Voice] revengeisalie February 15 2009, 04:03:54 UTC

Hahaha. Really? Thanks.

I'm Rin. Asano Rin. And you?

Huey Freeman.

[Voice] revengeisalie February 15 2009, 04:07:43 UTC

Nice to meet you, then.

[Voice] child_radical February 15 2009, 04:09:00 UTC

Likewise.
