Will you be my Valentine?
These dialogues are very common during Valentine
week. Several boys and girls encounter new Romeo’s during these days. I just
remember few decades back, there were no valentine celebrations. It all started
with the introduction of internet to common man. People saw these valentine day
celebrations in Rome and other countries by the Catholics. Then these
unemployed and free people around the country planned to start the same game
here in India.
The History
I still remember, when I was in school, Valentine Day was celebrated in church with prayers and chorus
singing for Saint Valentine. But, today the scene is very different; today’s
youth is crazy celebrating love towards their “Special Friend”. They are buying
expensive gifts for them, posting photos online and what not.
The Fashion Trending Behind
Valentine’s Day
These couples want the whole world to know that they are in
love and someone is crazy after them. They want to spend full live with each
other. But, is life a “Bed Of Roses”, with great freedom
of expression comes a great responsibility also. A responsibility to accept each other the way
you are, to love and respect each other and of course to give space to each
other. These young children from business class families are so desperate to
show off themselves to others that they forget this second side of the coin. There
no coin with a single face, with freedom comes the bondage, with rights comes
the duties.
Moral Science
Sometimes, I feel like adding a new subject in all school syllabuses.
Though, it’s not a new subject. I still remember that “Moral Science” was one
of the main stream subjects in convent schools; children need to study hard
these books with stories on The Bible
with moral values and pass the subject to enter the new class. Today, it should
be mandatory in all government, public and private schools to educate moral
values in the children.
The Bottom Line
I would be very thankful to the reader, if they start
educating their children these moral values from today. This will not only
bring a better tomorrow but also reduce these vulgar valentine proposals and
cheap commenting, eve teasing type of behaviors in the youth.
