RE: Is There Only One Day for Love? The Truth About Valentine's Day

in Freewriters5 days ago

In my region in particular, we don't celebrate Valentine's Day. The origin of the day is a reason in itself, it has a rather negative history before Shakespeare started romanticizing it.

I agree that Valentine's Day doesn't have to be a one-day affair, but there's nothing wrong with it being a symbolic thing that everyone enjoys, except you.

No lover? Too busy with the computer?

Why don’t you celebrate Valentine's Day? Is it forbidden? Why can’t I enjoy it? Haha, I think you're using a translator , you didn’t mean that. No lover? Haha, why are you asking? XD Busy with the computer, it’s my job

It's not officially prohibited, it's more like advice from religious leaders, it's a matter of faith, some people don't care, some people get carried away. It comes down to each person, but when it comes to my religion, this is not recommended.

Why shouldn't I ask? Lovers are part of life choices, let's just say I'm doing some kind of lifestyle survey. For you, maybe hanging out with friends and the computer is more relaxing.

If it's not official you should not say that it is or because it means that you twist the rules.
Lovers are part of life choices as in? Now I wonder what you mean by "lovers" apparently not your life or children?

For you, maybe hanging out with friends and the computer is more relaxing.

Since this is 2025 and we live in the SF time and there are equal rights and women work and have salary next to being housewives, wives, dishwashers, cleaning ladies, therapists and so on I assume that equal also means that they can have 5 husbands? Sounds fair to me. Than at least they have a chance to be pampered as well. Do you know that there are also cultures in the past where the women are in charge and can have more than one men and not the other way round? History is very interesting.

@kafio is that possible?

What is the negative story?

Do you mind he is too busy or can it be he likes someone with brains?

I find it pathetic to hook up with someone out of fear to end up alone or because of mom and dad or worse because the need of a free cleaning lady and babysitter.🤢 I rather stay single. Nothing as terrible as being forced to waste your life with a bored, uncreative person.

Life is about choices, and every choice has consequences, so as long as you're prepared for what will happen, do whatever you want.

Maybe you need to know, that in my religion there is a recommendation to marry more than one woman, for those who can afford it.

Brother, Islam does not recommend marrying more than one; in fact, it is the opposite. Also, there is nothing in Islam that forbids celebration. Please don’t say things you are not sure about, especially when discussing religion. Allah says, "Justice is a condition for the validity of polygamy" and then says, "And you will never be able to do justice." This means that achieving perfect justice is very difficult, and therefore, polygamy is not recommended. The practice of a man having more than one wife is permitted, but not recommended or obligatory.

It should be clear, I said recommendation (even for those who can afford it), nowhere did I mention obligation.

Marrying more than one woman, when do you plan to carry out the religious commandment by looking for a second one? 😂

Need a deeper discussion on this, not as easy as it seems. ask your heart, are you capable? 😁

It seems like we both have the ability, but it's just our courage that doesn't have the ability yet.

What does ability mean? Sex?

When a man marries a woman he has a great responsibility, the ability to give a dowry, provide for her, and many others.

The single mothers, women dumped by men increases. Men who say they are not up to the responsibilities, rather are free, blah blah blah not to mention the fact they say the only bad thing that happened was their wife became old. I literally read that. Men don't get old, bald, fat, wrinkled, stink, useless, grumpy, nasty, mean? Where is the providing and support if they hang mainly around with friends in a coffee shop or bar or change into a couch potato? And what does this mean: a man marries a woman? Shouldn't it be: they get married - equality or are women still posessions less important than the car?

Thanks for the talk 👍

You love to skip one rule don't you? This is that the Quaran says that you should love all women and children equal and treat them equally. Can you do that? I doubt it because we love people in different ways for different reasons.

P.s. in the western world you would end up in prison because it's not allowed no matter what your religion is. Only the first marriage will count. I would say: do your best. It must be great to be able to dump the demanding guy with another wife and have your freedom LOL

That's what the phrase if you can afford it means, and unfortunately I'm not one of those people. That means not everyone can do it. Because what? Yes, being fair is not an easy thing.

No.. afford is you have a fat wallet.
Loving and treating equally has nothing to do with money.
You have a lot to learn.

More precisely, it is history, but it would be difficult to explain, because it is related to faith (in my religion), obviously we refuse to follow the traditions of other religions or beliefs.

Valentine's Day celebrations are also a trigger for lovers, yes adultery is strictly prohibited, there is no freedom for that. Because many people, intentionally or not, use the name of love to fulfill their lustful desires.

Adultery is forbidden? Now you make me laugh. It's all that I see around me with men sharing your faith. It sounds to me that it depends on the leader who or what is allowed and how strict the rules are followed. BTW I also see that men with more than one woman let those women and the children work their arses off while the man does nothing so if it comes to religion...

Btw the Indonesian people in the Netherlands aren't Muslim.

I think all religions agree that adultery is forbidden, so it's less about how religious lines are drawn, and more about the adherence and behavior of people who claim to follow a particular religion. Does that include freedom?

So the solution for adultry is more than 1 woman? Isn't it cheating if you can't be committed equally? No way I can not even to my children. People differ and so do their needs so the one with the highest needs or demands receives automatically most.
