Not to be a downer, but how do flowers, candy, and cards celebrate love? Valentines day is a disgusting corprate holiday. If you really love people, or the world, or what have you, show it everyday with your genuine actions. And don't give this "holiday" the recognition it doesn't deserve.

I absolutely agree with Jack. The comercial world in which it happened to us to live in, shaped this form of celebrating our feasts.
It's just another opportunity for businessmen to exploit us. They're abusing our willingness to pay money for showing our feelings to our beloved. No matter how holy or honourable the feast is or was.
It's the same with any feast, it only depends on the range. Remember pre-Christmas shopping mania. Nobody can persuade me that this madness is the original purpose of establihing this (at least initially) sacred feast. The same applies to St. Valentine's Day. It's not the armagedon, but it's certainly nastiness.
PS If our loved one acknowledges this feast we'd better do so too or explain our point of view. Just as a prevention from possible mistaken conclusion that you don't love him/her.
