We have choices. Lots of choices. We can love everything or nothing on Valentine's Day. We can narrow it down to loving only and foremost and forever, Gd. Gd as God, or G-d, or L-rd, or HASHEM, or Adonai. This narrows it down to one Gd that is the only Gd, not to love idols and
not to worship or love images. Not to create them.
Feel Gd in your body, you have a finger on the hand we bind with Tefillin that is the middle finger on your left hand, if your right is dominant. This middle finger is your marriage finger to Gd. Even without Tefillin we can remain conscious of this finger and stay faithful to Gd as our only one and Al-mighty Gd.
We do not have to participate in a holiday that is not a holy day. Hallmark holidays can be circumvented. We must pray harder, call to our Gd more often on these days. To remember our love for Gd is 365 days a year, not just to love on Valentine's Day. Go into your Torah and read, it is Gd Who wants us to love Him. Only Him. He wants us to honor our spouses, not to ever commit adultery. He never commands us to love anyone except for Him. Honoring our parents too.
The question of love, who to love, and to love unconditionally:
Gd, only, everyday of the year.
