it's hard to find a middle ground between those who believe in a more dramatic expression of such a day of celebration, who necessitate the whole machinery of florid display and gastronomic assistance, and those who steadfastly dismiss all claims of import attributed to such a date, preferring to pretend that their erstwhile lives regularly exhibit such dedicated joyous fervour.
i'd much prefer it if people remembered to at least intend to express love first, both ostentation and pragmatism be damned.

The thing I object to is being told the date to celebrate love.
Every little bit once in a while should suffice do you not agree?
if only an appointed date were a reminder for busy and forgetful people to refresh their love. as it stands, the huge circus lead-up to it enforces the date on everyone and obligates a response. which is unacceptable of course.
