I can't remember what Valentine's day is supposed to celebrate. Could... Could someone please explain it to me?

[coercer]

It's a holiday of love.

[silencedbird]

Of love?

[sagittariinae]

A day for expressing your affection towards others.

[silencedbird]

Isn't that Christmas?

[sagittariinae]

Valentine's day is a bit more ... specific. You're supposed to give chocolate or candy to the people you love.

[silencedbird]

I-- I didn't know.

[bringingjustice]

It is supposed to celebrate the love that you have for another individual. To show more love for that person this day above all else. However, why it is singled out a single day instead of all ... that is up for you to decide if that is what you wish to do.

[silencedbird]

You're only allowed to love one person?

[bringingjustice]

...

No. The love of friends and family and those you wish close ... they will be different but the same. All should be respected.

[silencedbird]

There are different kinds of love?

[blackhillcat]

It's a day where people deceive other people with gifts and shiny objects, and pretend to have a certain attraction to them.

[silencedbird]

Why would they do that?

[blackhillcat]

It's called consumerism, with a side of marketing and advertising.

[silencedbird]

...I don't understand.

[cruxanathema]

If you want to know, I'll surprise you.

[silencedbird]

You will?

[cruxanathema]

Yeah. You'll like it.

[silencedbird]

Alright.
