VALENTINES DAY

We all know there's a beautiful story behind Valentine's Day. I'm sure most of us are even aware of it. And there are those who hate Valentines Day. Also there are couple or lovers who think what is so important about Valentines Day? Love can be shared any other day too.hmmmmm........ yeah that's true, you don't need to wait for valentines Day to ask someone out or speak for your love, or even propose someone. However, this day is special because of St Valentine.
Shakespeare said "whats in a name?" But 14th Feb, the day of love is been celebrated all over the world in the name of a saint.

Long ago, Valentine lived in Rome during the third century. Rome was ruled by Claudius.Emperor Claudius, was harsh and cruel, so people didn't like him at all.
Claudius wanted to have a big army. He expected men to volunteer to join. Many men just did not want to fight in wars. They did not want to leave their wives and families.Not many men were ready to join the army by then. This made Claudius furious.He thought of a mad idea, that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So Claudius banned anymore marriages in town.People thought his new law was cruel and preposterous! St Valentine certainly wasn't going to support that law as he was a priest, and loved to get people married.
Even after Emperor Claudius passed his law,St Valentine kept on performing marriage ceremonies -- secretly, of course.
One night,St Valentine was caught. He was thrown in jail and told that his punishment was death.
He tried to stay cheerful and for his support many young people came to the jail to visit him. They threw flowers and notes up to his window.This was a simple act to prove that even people believed in Love, as much as him.
One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Her father allowed her to visit St Valentine in the cell. Sometimes they would sit and talk for hours and soon blossomed a new friendship. When St Valentine was to die, he left for his friend a little note thanking for her friendship and loyalty. And signed it, "Love from your Valentine."
.It was written on the day he died, February 14, 269 A.D. Now, every year on this day, people remember about love and friendship. And when they think of Emperor Claudius, they remember how he tried to stand in the way of love, and they laugh -- because they know that love can't be beaten!

So now you know why 14th Feb, is so special.Valentines Day gives people a chance to speak their feelings out, if they have been shy or scared. There is a different energy in the air on this day, especially love is in the air. I'm not of the opinion that only share your love and concern on this day. Try to make each day, each moment special for your loved one's, but also not to forget 14th Feb on your list.

Also for those who are single, this day has lot for you rather then feeling lonely. Love doesn't mean just a couple, its not just a feeling. But you're Love. You're full of love and purity. So make yourself happy. After all, there is no one who will know you so better as you know yourself.
Also, if you're single, then go out with a friend who is single too, and make moments memorable.Eventually, its St Valentine's friendship farewell note, which turned into Valentines Day.

"LOVE ALL" 'Its beautiful'
