We are less than 24 hours away from the largest prank in human history….the Day of Saint Valentine.
Kenyan men are nervously pondering on what they should get their significant other, knowing quite well that they will have to dig deep into their pockets to please the love of their life!
But what if I told you that Valentine’s was all a big SCAM? Yes, you heard right.
Think I’m bluffing? Well, here are five concrete reasons why you might just be a pawn in the sham of this ‘so-called’ Lover’s Day.
It Cultivates a Selfish Habit of Expectations
If you plan to do it big this Valentine’s, then just know that that will always be your benchmark for years to come.
By upping yourself each and every Valentine’s Day, not only will you be setting unattainable standards that you will find difficult to match, but also make your partner accustomed to lavish gifts that might just be beyond your budget.
Love isn’t a measure of worth
By participating wholly in Valentine’s Day, not only will you be purchasing love and affection, but also cheating yourself that affection is something worth buying.
If a couple is truly in love, they don’t have to spend a large amount of cash on Valentine’s Day to demonstrate their love for each other.
If you’re single, you’ll go crazy!
Unfortunately for the lone rangers, this is the day that couples rub it in your face how madly they are in love with each other.
On the bright side, your pocket will probably thank your s&xy, single self!
It’s not a public Holiday
Yes, you don’t take a break from work to enjoy Valentine’s Day. If anything, it will be business as usual on Friday. Who wouldn’t want to go to the office with a hangover and bow-legged??
It’s a financial scheme
You can only imagine the surging profits that chocolate companies, airports, hotel, and flower vendors will reap on this day. Enough to keep them in business for the whole year!!
