I note and observe that spending by women go up many folds during the recent Valentine's Day weekend.
And so too do the credit card bills of their husbands and boyfriends.
I think the commercial aspect of Valentine's Day is a sad reality of consumerism and cheapened love.
Where the slightest impulse to spend and every excuse to get what's neither important nor symbolic of ones love to the other is getting too prevalent and embarassing.
Depressing.
In times of economic gloom, I think spending should be curbed to help your loved ones survive the storm and save for a better future together.
Credit card bills topple lives and ruin relationships.
So what's Valentine's day to these people these days?
A day to celebrate Lusting Love or a day that broke the bank and the bond that brought 2 people together?
