THE BAD REFLECTIONS ON VALENTINE DAY CELEBRATION
Nevertheless the Valentine Day celebration is important but in some cases it has negative impact on its outcome because of the bad experiences realized.
The following are the sad reflections;
1. DON’T NEED HOLIDAY TO SHOW LOVE
This is a one off case in so many expected situations or circumstances to demonstrate real love and affection to your partner to justify infinite love, happiness and peace in the relationship to ensure faithfulness and dedication to each other.
2. IT’S SUPER ANTI-SINGLE FOR NO REASON
The situation of panic and in complete dissolution is eminent because unplanned partnership could just emerged without any deep or sincere commitment due the abrupt or sudden circumstances to get a partner for the Valentine day celebration
3. INTO IT TURNS RELATIONSHIP COMPETITION
Because the day is a special occasion for young men and women, some of them go in search for the most beautiful or handsome partners to compete with others in areas of interaction, personal presentation and real love in the public domain.
4. SPECIAL GIFTS ARE SIMILAR WITH LIMITED CHOICES OF PREFERENCE
It is noticeably that the gifts on sales for Valentine Day are limited in choices because most celebrants’ presents flowers in red and pink colours to their beloved as a symbol of Valentine’s Day. Because of the supply and demand chain the sale prices are higher than expected.
5. SELECTIVE OF LIMITED VENUES FOR CELEBRATION
The event attracts mostly the young generation of youths than elders, and the climax of the celebration is limited to either popular night clubs or restaurants where they enjoy themselves with music and food of their choices, hence leaving the none socialites partners to be left apart or ignored.
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT VALENTINE DAY?
Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self –seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
CONCLUSION
It is my candid opinion that everybody should not be limited to his or her special occasion or celebration to just Valentine day but to any day when there is joy or happiness in once life.
Be a true friend to the other person you love and like don’t pretend, be honest, sincere and faithful in your relationship and God loves a cheerful giver as your reward will be great in heaven.
Always be in close companion with your true loving partners express admiration, sincere love and friendship without any scare of doubts in the minds INTRODUCTION

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.
