Today is the day that people celebrate something without knowing the origins, while falling for the commercialisation of the day at the same time.

Meditation?

Sit down, relax and concentrate on breath?

I thought this is supposed to somehow advance one spiritually, and generally for self improvement, not for something like "world peace".

I made my own cards and will make dinner. You can celebrate with your significant other without buying into the crap!!

I'm sure your significant other didn't hit you with a dead animal's hide to make you fertile. Way to miss the point. Or maybe you were implicitly agreeing that you do not know the origins of the day.

I see that you don't even bother to read the article I linked to and just decided to post your ignorant opinion.

Don't. Lie.

Young women would actually line up for the men to hit them, Lenski says. They believed this would make them fertile.

Apologise for being right? Ha. No.

1. The article never mentioned anything about "pain".
2. You do not know what the "pain" represents.
3. You said it is not even painful.

As for your other comment

stop trying to ruin something wonderful

Stating facts is not "ruining something wonderful", and whether it is "something wonderful" is subjective.

I happen to think that Valentine's Day is total bullshit, so that's just how "wonderful" I think the day is.

I can see that you are not only incapable of writing properly, you are also incapable of understanding what you wrote, as well as keeping your post on topic.

Again, you demonstrate that you are incapable of responding normally, or write any thing that is relevant.

Haha, more bullshit. Are you high on drugs?

I'm demonstrating this thing called "patience", especially when the likes of you can't stick to whatever I said.

Why don't you read this post and engage all your intellectual capabilities and then attempt to understand what should be a very easy to understand post that's written in simple English?

If you're going to jump in and interrupt, then at least jump in while knowing what is going on in the first place.

It is neither "mean" nor "smug" to state facts.

It is a fact that you not only did not understand the post that's in reply to somebody else, you jumped in and shamelessly waved your "female card" and "childbirth card" around.

Talk about being unpleasant. Ha.

Also, the belief that hitting the female with the hide of a dead animal makes her fertile, is not the same as giving birth. If you are unsure of what "fertile" or "fertility" means, I highly recommend that you seek out the definitions with a dictionary yourself.

And I'm saying that fertility and childbirth are not the same, and therefore, you are wrong. Waving your "female card" and "childbirth card" around was also highly unpleasant.

Since you are so persistent and keep spewing nonsensical garbage, let's read from History.com

They would then strip the goat’s hide into strips, dip them into the sacrificial blood and take to the streets, gently slapping both women and crop fields with the goat hide.

Like I said, it has nothing to do with childbirth. I'm not sure why that came to your mind, maybe you just want to let the world know that you have given birth before.

Either way, you are dead wrong.

You would do yourself a great service if you could take a minute to check the definition of "fertility". You may learn something new.

I can see that you are also incapable of looking for definitions.

Fertility is the capability to become pregnant. Just because people are fertile, does not mean that they pop a kid out every 9 months.

As I have amply demonstrated, you were wrong right from the very beginning, and you are still very wrong now.

It was great to unmask your bullshit airy fairy "enlightened" and "loving" façades, though.

I'm not the one pushing that bullshit, but you should take your own advice and "check yourself" by reading your post again.

Also, you should read the post that I replied to somebody else.

Lastly, I can see that you do not have the decency to admit that you are wrong, and just pretend that nothing was said regarding "fertility" and "childbirth".

Amen brother

Happy Valentine's Day. I'll give 15 minutes of meditation for world peace. Have a good day❤

Ommmmmmmm... I'll be sending vibes of love out to everyone today. I hope you all will too.

I got 20 minutes of world peace coming right up. Sending positive vibes your way Chicky!

Absolutely.Everyone should do this at least once a day.

Maybe we could do that every day, not just on a made up commercial holiday

Hari hari aum y'all, keep it positive, be the light in the dark!

I just got the app 10% Happier last week and would recommend it for anyone interested in trying meditation. I've been practicing 2x daily, and it's great. I'll contribute 30 mins over the day today, OP! It sure beats participating in this commercialized madness.

Happy Valentines day to you also.

This is such a lovely wholesome post. Happy Valentines day!!!

I have dedicated 30 years to peace, however the war continues and it will continue after I am gone.

Sorry im in a bad mood

Don't let that distract you from the fact the Falcons blew a 25 point lead.

There is so much I my life that I love and appreciate right now. I am so thankful for it.

Happy Valentines, beautiful.

Thank you for being a positive and uplifting force in the world. Good vibes right back at you and for world peace <3 happy valentine's day!
