THAT REFUSES TO SHUT UP!!
Nice eh???
Hahaha..
As always, I am always in front of the laptop, looking and skimming through my Facebooks' data feeds and looking for something worth looking at..
Such as friends' status update.. Friends adding some friends.. And if they're worth looking at, I find myself hauled by a sudden urge of adding them as well.. ( weird stalker kind of urges.. aiyerr.. )
( till I just found out I accidentally called my COUSIN auntie.. and she replied with this chilli-padi sarcastic answer.. oh god.. sorry.. hehe.. )
Oh okay but thats not the point here..
I was skimming through till I saw this post from a person worth stalking at.. haha..
He posted something about an ANTI-VALENTINES DAY.. IN PUTRAJAYA!!
OH GOD!! THE HORROR!!
WHY OH WHY???
Here I'll post the link here so you can click on it and read it on your own.. ^^
Urm you did clicked on it right..?
Well so to say, why oh why..?
Why waste time fighting against something that has been going on for ages and ages..???
If this thing is illegal, shouldn't you been banning it since like, 1Centuries ago..?
You might as well say that we ( Muslims ) cannot celebrate Christmas and Deepavali or Chinese New Year because it is not our culture..
Then what happens to those with mixed blood, like me???
Hurm~
The thing is, we have been doing this Valentines Day tradition since like, ever... And its not because we were celebrating the fact that the Priest Valentines was killed for various reasons, but all the reasons was for love.. Surely we can accept that right..?
Some articles I found in the Net.
" One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men — his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.
Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.
According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first "valentine" greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl — who may have been his jailor's daughter — who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed "From your Valentine," an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France. "
I seriously see no reason why this is such a bad day, right???
For some of us, Valentines Day is a day where we can show our loved ones just how much we care for them and just how much we appreciate their company..
And is it our fault that some people treat that day as a sex day..?? As a day where they can have fun and forget all about their responsibilities..??
NOO!! It is not fair.. It is not our fault.. You have to know yourself and judge yourself before pointing fingers..
And is it only on this particular day that people would be having sex and having fun!?!?!
Again, the answer is a big NO NO!!!
They do it all year round, regardless of what day.. Don't you go blaming Valentines Day just for these reason.. Please don't tarnish the good name of St. Valentine just because of this..
He has nothing to do with it.. The real problem is the society nowadays..
Theres nothing we can do, unless we change ourselves..
And as always, the vicious cycle will always continue to turn, ever so slowly..
The past will become the future, the future will become the past.
Sadly as it may, but.. What can we do..?
I might have spoke out of lines here, but can't I voice out my opinion..?
Surely I have the right to speak out, right.?
If ever there are people who are offended by my thoughts and voices, I am deeply sorry..
But as the lines goes on and on, You Fight For What You Believe, and that is exactly what I'll keep on doing..
No Matter what..
Love,
Roz.
