A Valentine's Day Note and a Cupid's Arrow

A Valentine’s Day Note and a Cupid’s Arrow

            

          

Love is the essence of life.

Love is a sacred sacrament.    The life without love is a porridge without salt.

The Valentine’s Day is celebrated across the world with the couple exchanging gifts, candle, card, chocolate, candy and flowers.  Many regard this as a candy floss romance.

On Valentine's Day  couple dine together in a romantic and novel atmosphere.  A candle light dinner is considered as the most romantic escapade.  Some of the married couple reserve a hotel suite to celebrate their love towards each other.

Saint Valentine was the greatest protagonist of love.  He was executed in AD 269, February 14^th.  To commemorate the message of love propagated by Saint Valentine, the Valentine’s Day is celebrated across the world on February 14^th.  Many countries in the world observes “Valentine’s Day” as a holiday.

The Roman Emperor Claudius II, summoned Saint Valentine the popular priest from a Roman empire who admonished the doctrine of love, and offered Claudius’ support to spread his message of love, in case Saint Valentine accepted pagan religion.  Saint Valentine rejected the proposal and became a martyr in the altar of love. 

Emperor Claudius II, was infamous that he even stopped the sacred sacrament of marriage, fearing that the new recruits to his ambitious army will be demotivated from joining the army if they are enjoying a happy married life.  He was the first of the most brutal anti-love protagonist.

The falling in love is a beautiful experience.  However, the younger generation including the teenagers are often misguided about the beautiful and divine meaning of love.  The tender age is definitely a constraint to find the ideal partner. The person falling in love must be able to judge the future of their love to remain in an everlasting beautiful relationship that may lead to a blissful family life. 

The best friends to partners in life. 

The family as an institution is a stronger unit in India.  The arranged marriages we notice in our society that many a times are most successful than the blind love marriages, as the parents with an eye to the prosperous and happy life of their children chose the bride and groom from well settled and acceptable socio-economic strata of the society.     The western people are attracted to the strongest bond of family relationship prevailing in India.

We live in a society which believe that virginity is the greatest gift to the partner in marriage than anything else.  A puppy love often find the partners indulging in pecking, necking and kissing in public places like band stands, beaches and parks and resulting in losing the precious gift your partner in marriage solicits.

Our conservative society does not approve one night stands and live-in relationships.    Such a physical relationship will often  end up in the trauma of abortion and related psychological disorders such as nervous break-down and depression.

The ideal partners for life selected by adult and matured people result in long lasting relationships with the support of one’s family and friends.  This kind of relationship is cemented by social network of the couples like family friends and relatives.  The religious as well as other festivals in the community ensures stronger bondage.

The honeymoon of  married couple between the satin sheets on the bed and champagne bottles and the filled wine glasses, chocolates and flowers and other precious gifts exchanged  expressing their love for each other is a tailor made sequence of an idealistic society.

The Valentine’s Day is celebrated by elderly couples of the world fraternity as well.  Like I stated in the beginning of this post, love is a beautiful state of mind and becomes even more beautiful in consummation of marriage.

Indian society by and large is not a permissive society which does not promote puppy cub’s love from a Cupid’s arrow.  The physical attraction of two beautiful people is a romantic unison which has to be selected with due care and screening of the partner for a steady and strong bond of relationship resulting in blissful existence.

You must be wondering  in the modern times when some of our younger generation rebels doing a war cry for sexually liberated lives and the permissiveness of unnatural relationships with a philosophy of variety is the spice of life and  tries to find a rooting for such dogmas in our society, why I am so caution exercised to find a time tested existence of relationships in our society.  Because the broken marriages and a disarray of  resultant children losing both parental love and care is a plague that threatens to shatter the very own social fabric of our society. 

The eternal love preaches selfless and avoidance of self-oriented elements of selfishness in a relationship.  It is quite possible in an attractive person’s life the love interest often crops up.  The polygamy and wife-swapping are not  accepted practices in our society. 

The lovers exchange love notes with sms and beautiful pictures and cards.  In ancient India the Dove and Swan were used as the messengers of love.

The bondage of love between two opposite sex people is a sacred relationship.  The Gay and Lesbian relationships and such marriages are widely unheard in our conservative Indian society.

Mostly the handsome and beautiful people fall in love with the attraction to each other.  However, the beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.  I advocate the love between two matured and adult partners well equipped to choose their partners in life.

A steady relationship, the soothing, caring and comforting love is most desirable in a person’s life.

 Long live Valentine and the beautiful relationship of  Love..!!
