I’ve spoken before about what I feel a romantic marriage really looks like, beyond the commercial fakery that it’s managed to become, and I think it’s a good day as any to revisit that. With Valentine’s Day a month away, a lot of people are planning to spend inordinate amounts of money on trinkets that last ONE DAY. For reasons that are personal, religious, and intellectual, I hate the whole thing. I’ve worked in retail long enough to know how sincere people are when they are standing at a jewellery counter rifling through a dozen credit cards looking for one to charge their purchase to, less than two months after Christmas. I guess that’s why Generosity Day struck a chord with me. It’s the brainchild of Sasha Dichter, a speaker and writer in the field of corporate citizenry. Check it out, it’s worth a look.
