Valentines and Purity

Tuesday, February 13, 2007

Ahh, Valentines. The day that smitten lovers choose to lavish myriads of stale chocolates, cheap perfumes, and wilting flowers upon each other. Love is said to be in the air, although I would like to argue that hardly anyone really knows what "love" is anymore. It has been substituted with completely selfish lust, which leads to actions that completely disregard the fact that the other person's body should be respected as a pearl too costly to be bought. This is then justified by each person's "right" to have whatever kind of pleasure they want, whenever they want, no cost whatsoever. Purity's been drowned in a sea of self desire.

Given my blunt opinion on how love has been degraded, you might ask why I chose to belittle the sweet little sentiments that accompany Valentine's day, such as the chocolates, perfumes, and flowers. Well, this is why. Purity is the most beautiful gift you could ever give anyone you love. It comes at a high cost, requires complete sacrifice, ignores all distractions, signifies undying commitment, and demonstrates unconditional love. It is the most expensive gift a person could ever give. How can chocolates, perfume, or flowers even compare?

Isn't it ironic how the entertainment industry, which is built on everything BUT purity, pays so high?
