This article is not an intervention to the common understanding of Valentine's Day but a supporting idea. Valentine's Day is commonly understood as a day of lovers. Usually, it is associated with the exchanging of notes, cards, etc expressing their love to one another.Lovers vary between man to woman or vice versa, man to man and woman to woman depending on your own choice of desire. But this matter had raised a lot of issues. The Church in particle is consistent to its fundamental principle that a couple should be at all times between a man and a woman though some liberals had badly criticized this idea.
The conflict sparked when it was proven that the grounds used by previous parties were insufficient. Mere usage of traditions and stories to interpret the concept. But here comes the new way, an easy way to decode the concept of Valentine. It is simple yet comprehensive because it would examine the very fundamentals of the concept.
The revealing definition is actually an expanded understanding but in a simple way, putting some decorations into the concept. Valentine is indeed a day only for those who have partners. And on the day must have a partner because take a look at the term “VALENTINE”. Is it not a two-coined word with a connector in between to which the two must be intact? Let us do mathematics now to make it more colorful to understand. The given terms of the word Valentines are Val, En and Tines. Did you see that? Is it not that Val is a name of a person? I have a neighbor that bear with this name. The second is En but let us proceed with the remaining one so that we can understand this simply. So the last word is Tine. Is it not a name of again of a person? Yes it is actually. Both Val and Tine are names names of a person. You can search that n the internet. However, these names are uncommon. That's a fact. So what's next? These names are incomplete if these are just they are. I mean it is nonsense to relate it with Valentine because it does not follow. Oh come on! Here is the binding force that put meaning to this. Have you notice we left the term En. En is very important because it is the one that makes Valentine complete. But take note since in is a binding force it possesses a different role in the context. It is to be used using its sound. Meaning "En" is sound like what? Is it not sound like "and"? So this really the fate of this term to be considered "and" in the context of Valentine. Therefore to sum up the entire thing Valentine is made out of Val And Tine. The common sense tells that it is a partnership of two individuals. Val is a name of a man and Tine is a woman name. But to the extent that whether homogeneous is acceptable here, the answer is it depends. Just look at the names and that's it. In other words you don't have the choice.
Thus, Valentine is applicable only for a partnership consisting of a man and a woman or vice versa. The celebrate Valentine's Day alone is not correct.
