Flowers and Chocolates

On this day which has been deemed by profit hungry corporations to be the Valentines day couples all over the world are showing love and affection towards their better halves. Yet here I am sitting down writing this note, thinking about the following. 

I wonder how this tradition of bringing flowers and bouquets for your girlfriends and wives ever came into existence. This is so utterly meaningless. I think its just another of those things that just happen because that’s how its always happened. Flowers serve no purpose whatsoever. They cant be cooked or eaten, worn, and do not provide shelter, heck they don’t even smell good these days. They are just there. Us men have to give it to these girls every Valentines day, every anniversary dinner, every time they are mad at us and every time we want to make them feel loved.

On the contrary though, I think chocolates are the absolute best way to show how much love you have for your other half. You give her chocolates and that means that you don’t mind her eating all that chocolate and becoming fat. You would love her unequivocally. No questions asked.

Happy Valentines day world.
