There is no single, solitary, wholesome answer that will please everyone. Please die, we accept that, we move on, we do it so we can continue thinking about that nice new pair of nikes that we wanted, and are waiting for it to go on sale. You'd be annoyed when you hear that a bomb blast had closed down the shops; poor you. That means that you'll just have to sit at home and chill, listen to some music on your ipod or watch what Jack Baur is doing to rid America of "Islamic" Terrorists. We do it because it's ok, because we are apathetic and because we can. Change is constant, nothing remains the same, better or worse, It will come.

Who was Valentine? Why is this day observed? Legends abound, as they do in all such cases, but this much is clear: Valentine's Day began as a pagan ritual started by Romans in the 4th century BCE to honor the god Lupercus. The main attraction of this ritual was a lottery held to distribute young women to young men for "entertainment and pleasure"--until the next year's lottery. Among other equally despicable practices associated with this day was the lashing of young women by two young men, clad only in a bit of goatskin and wielding goatskin thongs, who had been smeared with blood of sacrificial goats and dogs. A lash of the "sacred" thongs by these "holy men" was believed to make them better able to bear children. Christianity tried to stop the evil celebration of Lupercalia. Its only success was in changing the name from Lupercalia to St. Valentine's Day.
