i agree, in today's world everything is about commercialism. I have no problem with valentines day if people keep it to themselves, i mean there is nothing wrong with giving gifts to your wife (im not married) or your mother or sister, but it is wrong to openly display your "love" to show off because it is inappropriate according to Pakistani society. Plus, why do people give gifts to their girlfriends only on valentines day, don't they love their mothers and sisters too? I don't support boyfriend/girlfriend culture, its better to get married if a person can't control his/her 'jawani'.Hardly
But considering that the generalization seems to be directed at the west rather than understanding the core nature of commercialism in this; it deserves a tit for tat.
Quick question, do you not believe that the same card makers and gift wrappers and so on that profit from valentines also look to do the same from Eid?
More importantly, somehow stopping valentines wont kill off infatuations, love or affairs or make people stop
That is something going on since forever, only the means for it changed.
A better way is pushing against one's own social circle against this day- don't need valentines to celebrate the holidays idea of love. All it does is give the many single guys here green eyes and green faces where they end up coming with all sorts of related and unrelated theories.
But somehow namaloom hussain aka president bill of Pakistan saw this as some sadqa jariya
