Valentine's Day has passed. Now that we all have shared the love how do you feel? Warm and cozy inside? Is it the feeling of being together? Or could it be the simple trickery placed into the symbol we all know as love. The heart.

Yes, the heart can be found in many places, other than in your body :) Sometimes I think, Do we think of love the same anymore?

Hearts are everywhere with a devalued meaning on billboards, your friends pencil case and in your favorite television shows. We need to start appreciating the wonderful gift that we as humans have. Love isn't the face of fake models and pornography. We as humans have ability to love each other. The gift of love is something no animal could give to another animal. Ever see hyenas running on the beach? I never have :) But if you have seen some hyenas you might not be here to tell us the story.

But back to the point. Whether it would be in a friendship, family situation or a loving caring relationship. The gift of love should not be devalued like we devalue it. Making out on Whyville has devalued the meaning of love entirely. Making out with another Whyvillian whom you don't even know. I think that is wrong. We need to show love the right way. You can do so much to show true love and friendship on Whyville, help a newbie -- you don't have to be a Y-helper! Don't pick on the new people. Help them find new face parts :) Treasure the heart and nurture it and you will truly find how to love one another.
