Valentines day thoughts from Jonathan Cainer

"Don't, today, get caught up in a fantasy that is being peddled by the greeting card industry and the international association of florists. Focus on what's real and you will get what you really need."
Jonathan Cainer

I'm not an advocate of any social ritual (for the sake of it) , and valentines day is no exception. I know it sounds like 'Bah humbug', but I'm glad Jonathan 'agrees' with me on this one.
So many of these things are consumer driven and have very little to do with 'what is invisible to the eye' as in the quote..

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

There are some funny anti-valentine websites out there, but I do not want to feed your cynicism at this point so I won't link them here.
Happy Wednesday!
