The day of love (or loneliness): Why Valentine’s Day is not evil

"In many Latin-American countries, Valentine’s Day is celebrated as 'Dia de Amor y Amistad,' directly translating to 'Day of Love and Friendship.' I wish this spirit were more common in the United States — less focused on relationships and more on love in general — because that’s a sentiment everyone can agree on."
