Happy Valentines Day one and all! Egad! If there has ever been a scam which proves how gullible humans can be, this day is it. But well done to greetings card companies and manufacturers of pink, fluffy tat for making it so profitable for themselves, the devil loves your work.
Are we so deep in the tramline of herds that even Love needs a prompt? "Ooh its February 14th! I love you loved one, I really do!" Balls! Does anyone BELIEVE this bullic odour? Ye must have giblets for brains!
As ever consumerism has swallowed this caper like a fatty amongst cake. The spirit of Valentines is dead as sawdust. Much like the spirit of Christmas. Let us face it, whatever Mankind touches usually turns to balls. The lad Shakespeare once wrote that "love is the most beautiful of dreams and the worst of nightmares." Was he passing a Card Factory when he thought of that? Those hollow eyed, soulless teddy bears and sickly coloured sweets certainly look the stuff of nightmares.
But Socrates Drunk doesn't want to sound like a complete sour milkshake. Its grand that people say "I Love You", but say it daily and with gusto! Embrace thy lover like its you next for the gallows because life is so very short and very unpredictable. Death could be around the next corner with your name on its card. Love is for Life, not just for Valentines.
