“Forget love, I'd rather fall in chocolate.”

This quote is interesting because i find it kind of like an irony. So we all know that valentines day is a day geared towards showing love to one another...at least that is what they show in all the movies. So people come up with all these different ways to show their love, by spending a fortune on organic flowers, handmade chocolates and dinner at a restaurant that charges 50 dollars for a piece of fish that is only 3 inches wide and sits in the middle of your plate surrounded by lettuce. Then we have the people who show their love by writing poetry (my favorite), love letters and taking their loved ones to Starbucks for a cup of coffee and cuddle on the lounge. But are these things truly showing us love? I mean what happens after valentines day? After that extravagant dinner you go home and argue about the same old cap being left off the toothpaste. Or when the cuddling session is over you go back to not even looking at each other because of a hidden secret. I believe valentines day is just a day for people to put up fake persona's and try to make up for what they don't do on a regular basis. The of the quote "Forget love, I'd rather fall in chocolate" can be taken in a humorous sense but it can also be taken as something deeper. People are starting to rely on items to profess their love to one another (which is fine) but if there is no emotional connection everyday, then valentines day is meaningless. If i wasn't being treated right by my boyfriend i would say Forget Love, Bring On The Chocolate!!
Feel free to leave your thoughts i would love to hear them.
This is an excellent topic. I would say that people use it as an incentive to branch upon their love but it does not save marriages. Most people do in fact forget valentines day altogether but it is entirely up to the person. I say bring on the gifts because in the end it falls back into the hands of the poor woman buying a loaf of bread due to the web of economics.
