I do not know how much a shop owner earns on valentine day from selling greeting cards in rupees or in dollars or in yen or in pounds. Yet, on this particular day that most young ones praise or worship, St. Valentine, i can assume that unlike in other days they earn a good profit by selling various things that comes with the label or tag , love.
If you read zodiacs of the entrepreneurs dealing with this subject February 14th is a very favorable day for them.
I know nothing about valentine other than his religious position in the world.
Saints unlike other personalities or individuals, according to what i have heard and read before, they have lived a different life. It is no easy for an ordinary person to come to that level or position called saint'. Can you think of any saints alive, in this world we see or read issues with regard to the subject of every day life or lives of human creatures?
In this world that we try to religiously division, categorize or group, since the very first day of birth of human creature, as Buddhists, Christians, Catholics, Islam, Hindus, etc. almost all the people who at-least have heard about the name, Valentine show no hesitant to support or celebrate the day secretly or publicly, keeping no religious agendas in their minds. That is the only good thing in celebrating this day, weighing or measuring the cultural or economical importance of celebrating other 'days, international days such as 'mother's day , father's day and children's day etc., i believe.
Anyhow, in this highly commercialized world we live, i see how some struggle to live due to lack of money. i read and often watch and experience how young girls suffer because of the terms such as 'dowry' etc though it is known as something abolished or eradicated totally from the current society by democratic saints, those who sacrifice their lives for a economic development of a country paying very high attention to 'equal opportunities', equal distribution of resources.
I see how some in this valentines full of universe psychologically depressed or tortured or oppressed at various levels of society because of this term that they identified as love but is their for sale in shops at markets world wide.
On this day i visited the University of Jayawardena Pura for some purpose and i saw a notice of a very young girl who is critically ill seeking for some help in 'Kidney Transplant'. If anyone of you interested in helping this girl dial the number mentioned below and get information relevant. 071 4109000
I do now know how many females alone, without their so called lovers, will come to your clinics seeking help or advice, to abort their children conceived on this day, legally or illegally. i do not know how in such difficulties St. Valentine can help those other than their parents.
Though according to some modern thinkers, Gods and Goddesses that take the side of women in need of help in certain complex situations mentioned above, such things are not identified as crimes but as something that need some justice, legal advice, the situation outside to such frames it is different. the reasons are vary from society to society. In some societies, women face difficulties in taking care of father-less children not just because we live in a society full of religious and cultural values and norms but because we live in a society where 'cash' or money is playing leading roles.
What are the steps that can be taken to avoid such issues such as young girls or women those who are not socially or economically or biologically premature become pregnant in the future?
Can adequate awareness on the subject , stop or minimize such complexities of a society?
How a society or a country that talks about human rights everyday and in every possible moment possibly address certain issues or constraints that come wrapped with the subject nicely tied with laces and ribbons, without harming the needs and wants and rights of human creatuers?
what are the better ways that a parent can protect their young girls at premature ages, who mostly misunderstand or misread or mislead by wrong definitions of love, in this lustful , glamour , glitter world,?
i take this opportunity to CONGRATULATE young Waruna and Chethanee for their newly born child on this special day, Valentine. Congratulations!
