Do you think Valentine's Day is simply a contrived holiday for card and flower companies to make money?

In my opinion, Valentine's Day is a very special holiday for not only lovers but friends as well. Love comes in many different forms and is shared through human connection and interaction with one another.

In a past life ( well so it feels ) I used to sell Greeting cards , Valentines was a massive commercial entity for us , not just with cards , but add on products , it was huge..

This is just one company , and kept mr driving around in a Brand New car..

Its completely a commercial thing.. Sorry , YES is my answer , for certain.

@molonski2 out of curiousity sir or bro or dude or man or pal or buddy: what's your views of whatever eventually comes after this life? Reincarnation? It was all a matrix simulation?' nothing? Darkness? A trip through dimensions like that movie Interstellar?' floating astronaut 😂😆

@NicholasRedone
Well Nick for the record , I believe when you are dead , thats it = Nothing more.

[molonski2]

But , if I were incorrect , thats nice but I doubt it..

That's like, every holiday now

[DishLady]

Yeah of course it is, but it’s also a nice opportunity to show a bit of affection or appreciation to someone you love and care for.

[Nikki1989]

All holiday traditions are like that.

[MisterWack]

Yes. Like legitimately.

Do you think the country that capitalizes off of dying with overpriced caskets, shady businesses, and poor healthcare would leave behind monetizing love? Get real boy!

[AviatorTom]

I believe it's the dsy of Hallmark's largest profit.

[Miristheiss]

Yes I do. It is fun... for the first few years of a new relationship but after that it gets old and is no longer a reason to make a big deal of.

[hahahmm]

Partly but it's also a social tradition like celebrating your birthday so one can do it without buying flowers or cards too.

[NicholasRedone]

Same as Christmas and Thanksgiving and Easter and new years - let's all just roll with it 🛍️🛒🛍️🛒🛍️

[Dargil]

Nope. It is a Catholic Saints day that has been corrupted.

[genericname85]

sure. but hey. it's jobs that pay the bills and feed the kids. so what's wrong with that?

[Crazzyyworld]

It looks like it isn’t it. But what the heck, I like chocolate and they are cheap so I enjoy it

[orange_roach]

That’s literally all holidays.

[Flower7]

Of course…
