Valentine’s Day is not romantic. Romance is opening the car door for her every single time, even during an argument. It is romantic to sit close together on the same side of the booth to share food with each other. It is spending ten dollars on her because you still have ten dollars left from your paycheck. It is crying not because you are hurting, but because you know she is hurting. Romance is not having sex or buying gifts and flowers because it is expected. Valentine’s Day is not romantic.

Rich or poor, school children who face the twenty-first century cannot concentrate on anything for very long; they have a poor sense of time past and time to come. They are mistrustful of intimacy like the children of divorce they really are (for we have divorced them from significant parental attention); they hate solitude, are cruel, materialistic, dependent, passive, violent, timid in the face of the unexpected, addicted to distraction.
