Dear reader, today I am going to tell you a very old story that has been stored for many years and that is renewed every February 14th.

Dedicated to a friend.

Once a long time ago, many did so that in the month of February it was decreed in all the calendars of the world and in all languages, the day of love, friendship or Valentine's Day.

This tradition traveled from the Anglo-Saxon countries to the whole world. It is celebrated on February 14 of each year, which is the St. Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day or day of love and friendship.

In the United States, in 1840, Esther Howland initiated the distribution of "valentines". They were cards in the form of Cupid or heart that the lovers gave each other. It was also traditional to give roses or presents to friends.

-This tradition lasted over time and is associated with the origin of the aforementioned date. But in addition there are other beliefs:

-In the Nordic countries happens the pairing of birds.

-It was a pagan festival because in ancient Rome that day the Greek God of love, Eros, was worshiped; called by the Romans Cupid.

-Interres of commerce and large shopping centers to sell.

What's true ?, but that's what the story tells ...

In the third century Rome ruled Emperor Claudius II, he decided to suspend the celebration of marriages because he thought that soldiers would have better performance in the front to lack ties or ties, for example, if they had no family or were single.

The priest in office, Valentine, opposed this order and began to celebrate marriages behind the emperor's back. After several months, where meetings, abuses and persecutions took place, he was finally imprisoned. Officer Asterius, his jailer, challenged him to see if he could restore sight to his blind daughter, Julia.

The story says that Valentine accepted and managed to return the girl's sight.

He also continued in captivity, was martyred, tortured and executed on February 14, 270. Julia, in gratitude for what he did, planted an almond tree with pink flowers near his grave. Hence, this is a symbol of friendship and eternal love.

Our February 14th.

On this date, love and friendship are celebrated in all languages ​​in different countries of the world. Its name results in: Valentine's Day, day of love and friendship, day of the couple or Valentine's Day.
Since the beginning of February there is a festive atmosphere in the air, which makes it different from the other months of the year. Most people agree that it is the month in which love and friendship are celebrated.

My meanings: love and friendship is not a thing of the year, or a month, or a date because they are gifts for life.

It is true that each important date has its anniversary; but the nature and the referent of it covers the life cycle and exalts the characterization of superior feelings that make us distinguish ourselves, that humanizes us and differentiates us from other species.

Is it true that from friendship to love there is only one step?

I do not know that. What I do know is that there are people who for some reason different from each other and give you that unique opportunity to look at you from within, to discover that you are capable of feeling beyond anything so far has described literature.

What is love for me and what does it represent?

Without owning (it).

Without reducing (it).

Love without a doubt is the feeling that makes us human. It is to do without the pre-judgments because you realize that what you love, you love it as it is: unique and unrepeatable. It is, in addition, to assure you that in the way you will not try to change it because you do not have that right; Then because if you later want it differently, then you never loved it.

Love is sometimes represented by a person who makes you contemplate it from the infinite to the near. Love is naked freedom, without ties, without questions and without answers.

But sometimes love is also original ideas and thoughts. They are ways of being and being in the world. Sometimes it represents a superior cause, impossible to reach completely and it is this lack of completeness that makes you love her.

Finally I would say that love is in itself the cause and effect of our humanity and that to love someone strictly does not need their presence because love is capable of quantum leaps, incredible and paradoxical.

Love is capable of assuming all possibilities at the same time. It is able to overlap distances, travel in empty space to belong only to someone.

Even if he does not know.
