Valentine's day is marketing and are made up of the occasion.
Ever wonders why many are gone the flowers all disappears? The shelves almost empty. And they are trying to sell off the ones that were left over from Valentine's day?
I saw it at the store and may were empty there are still some flowers left. And it is for marketing so other's can buy that day.
So if you see the flowers part where it is half way empty you know why.
It is a made up event. So that stores can get money. They know many will buy it so they will put out flowers, and gifts. It is shown not only that way can be any day. of the things and love people show for each other.
There is a downside to that some not mind not getting anything. some do. So it will make pressure on both sides. There are pros and cons to this. Not all celebrates.
Nothing wrong with celebrating it with your girlfriend, boyfriend, husband or wife.
