There are a LOT of Valentine's Day Cynics Out There!!!!!!!!!!!

Hoo boy I think I struck a nerve out there with a certain segment

of the population with my Valentine's Day - Cynic or True Believer post

last Saturday. There must have been a ton of people on Saturday night

with nothing better to do than google "Valentine's Day" and "cynic" which

in itself is kind of sad, or maybe not sad but ironic depending on

your point of view.

The post received 15 comments which is neither here nor there.

However, it has been viewed 2,175 times!! OMG!!

My next highest post has been viewed 401 times and

was written last November.

Just in the past hour since I started writing this post 8

more people have viewed my "cynical post".  What does this say

about the state of love in the world?

Are many of us turning into cynics? Is it because half of 

today's marriages end in divorce thus causing people to have

lots of free time on their hands to trawl the internet

in search of validation for their cynicism??

I really truly hope not.

Because really, love is all there is.

Valentine's Day - Cynic or True Believer?

Some people, I won't mention who, are very cynical about Valentine's Day. Other people, like Michael, see Valentine's Day as a day to celebrate love.

Some people, see Valentine's Day as a huge money grab by retailers whose bottom line has sunk heavily down into the red zone since the long-past days of the heady Christmas bonanza. Other people, like Michael, see Valentine's Day as a time to focus on precious memories of special times spent with loved ones over the past year.

Some people, see Valentine's Day as a day that makes unattached men and women feel like losers. Other people, like Michael, feel that Valentine's Day is a wonderful opportunity to spend time together whispering sweet, mushy things into each other's ear. 

Some people, believe that we should celebrate our love everyday, not just on Valentine's Day.  Other people, like Michael agree. Ummm....what?

Where do you stand??
