Love Actually

Happy Val’s Day! And love is in the air. But, of course, pour moi, it’s Me, Myself and I (The eternal Narcissus*).
So, here’s another piece of wisdom from Salerno’s article:
“The simple truth is that no one can orchestrate real love or even honest chemistry. No one can explain why people feel love for those they feel it for. You can’t will falling in love, but you can make people cynical and hard-bitten. You can remind them so often of the dangers of finding Mr Wrong that they second-guess every romantic spark within them. You can remind a woman non-stop that men just want to get laid. While reminding a man that women just want to go shopping on his credit card. By doing so, you contribute to a climate wherein both genders believe in nothing, trust in nothing.”
And similar msgs from family and friends:
“Love is so pure and beautiful…so unique-like u! Love is meant for everybody. Happy Valentine’s Day! I love u, u r my light”
- Yani
“Life is a chemistry. Dilute ur sorrows, evaporate ur worries, filter ur happiness & u’ll find crystals of Love. Happy Valentine’s Day!!”
- Hazlinda

It’s Raining Men, Hallelujah!
If love is indeed meant for everyone, why are there so many lonely hearts around? “It’s a Singles’ World”, another article from NST (12/02/06, F4), revealed that the ratio number of males for every 100 females (Department of Statistics, 2000 survey) for Never-Married Population Age 15 and Above always exceed the latter. So why are the females lamenting about the lack of prospects and spending Valentine’s Day alone or with their girlfriends? However, it did not provide a break down according to age brackets; but even so, there should be more than enough to go around.

*In Greek mythology, a youth who was punished for repulsing Echo’s love by being made to fall in love with his own reflection in a pool. And I wonder who my Echo is? No prizes for guessing right!
