Saint Valentine’s Day is a special day where lovers get to express their gratitude and loves to each other. Thanks to the concentrated marketing effort, Valentine’s Day has emerged as a Highly Consumptive Day whereby men have to cudgel their brains for an unique and unforgettable Valentine for their loves one or POTENTIAL gf. As for the ladies, its a day where they dress up nicely and impose their beauty upon noble gifts or meal.

A friend of mine thinks that Valentine’s Day is a day where "communism is fuelled by consumerism" as goods and foods are overtly costly. Most people are blinded by the luxuriant and nobby advertisements that their rationality have been cloaked by their sensibility.

In Japan and Korea, girls are obligated to  give chocolates and candy to the people they like. By further marketing effort, a reciprocal day called White Day on March 14, where men are expected to return the favor to those who gives them chocolates. Thanks God Malaysian weren’t affected by this culture. As for Chinese, a similar counterpart of the Valentine’s Day is called as The Night of Sevens where ladies pop mandarin orange or citrus into the river and the men fish for with a scoop net. 

In contemporary days, Valentine’s Day was referred as "Single Awareness Day" - to remind one who has been single for years that its time to end the bachelor life. Also, it reminds the couple who encountered mild relationship to revive and sparkle their love story. 

暮然回首，那人正在灯火阑珊处

是也？

现今社会讲求数量，而不是质量

多数传销人员讲究的是一天的生意量而不重视谈妥的过程是否符合道德标准和个人良知。

许多餐馆着重于室内设计和餐单的食物数量，而忽略了食物的质量，其服务性质和员工福利。

学生读书只选择内容数量的多少而放弃其中的奥秘和知识。

综合以上，在爱情方面，爱情数量占据了爱情的本质也是司空见惯。

人生里，仅是独角戏，只因对于自己我们绝对是重质不重量，太多的配角显得戏啰里啰唆，很复杂；没有配角，又异常单调无趣。

因此，就算只有少数有质量的配角也能协助将人生圆满得精彩！

配角在配角自己的世界里是主角，主角在他人的世界里是配角，就像大自然一样，不停的循环。但是，只有自己才能知道这人生的道路是否走得符合自己的心意。

结言：人生仅是独角戏。

独角戏回头的机会很少，因为人不习惯自我反省也甚少会宽恕他人。因此暮然回首，那人正在灯火阑珊处，却不知是何时的事了。或许他正踏出另一方向的脚步；仰或他是路过此地而已？！

人生仅是独角戏。。。

~只有在自己的世界里做好自己的角色，才能成为他人世界里成功和受欢迎的配角~ 芳言。
