Wrapping Your Head Around Someone's Heart

 

     

     There are those who are still trying to wrap their head around on how a lot of people, whose hearts are hardened when it comes to love, would be so agog when it comes to Valentine’s Day, celebrating it like it’s the best occasion in the world, buying gifts and everything that has to do with celebrating the romantic occasion. People who for many years refuses to be in a romantic relationship, who don’t entertain and immediately drive away admirers and suitors; people who don’t believe that love is all about trust, sacrifices and risks and who think that embracing love should only mean lying in a bed of roses—but are the flag-bearers of Valentine’s Day.

     But then, there are atheists who are agog when it comes to Christmas. Jesus? No, certainly not the Son of God because, well, there’s no God. Bible? It’s a book written by idiots and has lots of loopholes and unbelievable fantastical stories. Noah’s Ark? The parting of Red Sea? Those are stories more fictional than the Marvel superhero movies. Christmas? Yes, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. They are so excited about Christmas that they are already buying Christmas gifts in September. 

     And then, there’s this father, a religious zealot who firmly believes that the world will end within the next two years, who just purchased college plans for his kids aged four and five. And also these romantic people who are more than convinced that those people who do nothing in their life but doubt and mock and taunt love will ever change their mind but are still patiently trying to convert them to do otherwise.
