Valentine’s Day?!?

Is Valentine’s Day an important holiday?  I really don’t think that Valentine’s Day is that important of a holiday that people from all over genuinely celebrate it for the greater need of love.  I think the point to this holiday is for people to know that there is no reason to find love on just one day, but any day.

If people get that out of their heads that love is only one day, then most people would be thinking love all the time.

There are so many varying degrees of love.   Love comes in various packages too.

There is Romantic or sexual love or physical love, and friendship love.  Just because someone says I love you, doesn’t always mean that it is romantic love.  Though, let’s draw back to the definition of Romatic/Romance which comes from the Latin Word from roman times.  Yet, Romance according to wikipedia.org says that romance is a artful expression of one’s innermost feelings sometimes including love, sometimes not.  So, why do people insist that romance is love.

Love according to wikipedia.org is an abstract concept that which is experienced and all said and done.

In my experience, Love is not sexual.   It is like saying that I LOVE…(fill in the blank)

You can add just about anything and any person.

There are so many loving ways to love that we tend to overuse the word a lot. Just like its opposite Hate.  Do we really hate anything or anybody? or Do we say the word Hate out fo anger and not thinking?  The same goes with love. Do we really love everything and everybody? or Are we just overusing the word by saying I really love (fill in the blank).

All I know is that we should never use the word hate, and we should always moderate using the word love.   And when does the word liking something or someone become the word loving something or someone.

These are the challenges of the day.

Take Care and take care of that word LOVE making sure that you use it wisely.

I believe that holidays do matter

I believe holidays do matter and why can’t everybody celebrate the same holidays. Scrooge hated the holiday season in his case Christmas because he felt there was no point to it.

The problem is that we don’t know which holidays are more important and worthwhile since every religion thinks that their religion is the best.  Essentially, every holiday should be assumed to be important so why not celebrate every holiday since there is only one faith after all.

Faith comes in many forms and many directions.  In any case there would be at least 100 or more different holidays everyone needs to celebrate, but that is why we have choices. We celebrate the holidays that mean something special to us.

It doesn’t have to mean that we must celebrate what our parents or ancestors celebrated, just the celebration of holiday that is special to us.

Holidays are for the people that need something special to celebrate.  Most people in the world celebrate Christmas because it is special to most people in the world.  Most people in the world feel that celebrating Jesus’s birthday will give them hope and remembrance of everything.

Jewish people celebrate the high holidays because of the same reasons why most people in the world celebrate Christmas.

Chanukah really is not an important Jewish holiday and only became important when Christians all over were celebrating Christmas, and many Jewish people felt that they wanted to remember something too that time of year, so Chanukah became more and more commericialized as well.

Really this time of year is for most people in the world who believe in Jesus and want to remember him.   While the high holidays earlier in the year is for the Jewish people who want and need to remember for themselves.

I believe you grow up with whatever your parents believe, and no one knows for sure what is right and what is wrong.

All we know is that when we die, we either go to heaven or go to a place we don’t want to go to.  Or better yet do you believe in reincarnation.  I wish so many people to be reincarnated when they die because I believe certain people should be reincarnated to live their life again trying harder than in their past life.

Anyway,  I really have to get going now,

out, J
