Dear CoolMyth,
Love is already complicated enough without you having to complicate
it further with your thoughts, which are at best, irrelevant, at
worst, incoherent (pardon me for being blunt, I get irritated when
I'm confused after reading a post).
To answer your questions in a systematic order:
1. Valentine's Day, Christmas Day, birthdays, weddings, etc, are
commercialised, yes. Shops are there to supply a DEMAND (go read up
basic economics, I can't be bothered to launch into an explanation
here). Sure, shops can do all the advertising, sell the nicest
products, but if there wasn't a demand, & people didn't buy
into that kinda commercialised nonsense, how would the shops have
an opportunity to make a quick buck during such seasons?
Love itself is a feeling. It's people who make the
celebration of Love commercialised. Hamster (my nick for my guy)
& I don't buy each other expensive presents during Valentine's
Day. Neither do we book a table at posh restaurants. Rather, we
relax & cook together (he cooks, I dice & cut very slowly),
give each other massages, & maybe a small present. It's the
same for X'mas & birthdays. We also buy each other "Just
because" gifts, which are most precious & treasured. Some
people feel that since Valentine's Day is to celebrate love, why
Not celebrate? Surely you can't begrudge them that. Afterall, it's
a positive thing if they wish to make their partners happy.
2. Love does Not really exist.
It does. If you go by this argument, then you don't
really love your parents.
3. Lust.
Lust is Not chemistry. I lust after Brad Pitt, but
that doesn't mean I'm gonna sleep with him. Neither do I love him.
But I love Hamster, & it's natural to lust after him. What the
hell's wrong with that?
4. Are you being a cynic or are your views that of a loser?
Only you would know. I can't be bothered to ponder
over it.
