Romantic? Paah!

The French are romantic... From foreigners’ point of view, the French are supremely romantic. But where is this romanticism?! How can you say, when you see them, that our French guys are romantic? How did they get such a reputation? In fact, they are likely to say: “Oh, drat! It’s Saint Valentine’s Day, I have to buy something..." How superficial can you get?!

Saint Valentine’s in France is, like so many other celebrations, simply too commercial: we offer something because we “have to” and not to do something lovely and romantic. Should we not focus on the true spirit of Saint Valentine’s that is: Love?!

I think we are forgetting the real meaning of this celebration. We must remember what the origin of Saint Valentine’s Day was: based on a pure vision of a deep love which we must perpetuate.

So, we have to keep in mind that Saint Valentine’s Day is a celebration of love of every tendency in the whole world - even in “Romantic” France - to celebrate true and deep love, the love which makes people better and the love which can hide for a day all the bad things in the world...
