TAUians, have you found your purpose in loving?

Here is a little trivia about Valentine’s Day: Saint Valentine, a Christian priest in the Roman Empire during the 3rd century was known for performing secret marriages and advocating love and compassion. He defied Emperor Claudius II, a Roman emperor who ruled from 268 to 270 AD who forbade young men from marrying, believing that they were better soldiers without a partner.

Over the years, Saint Valentine’s life choices and sacrifices were celebrated every 14th of February which was the day he was executed.

Meanwhile, red roses, which today we consider a symbol of love, originally became associated with it because they were linked to Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love.

Valentine’s Day is not just about romance in the modern world; it is also about appreciating family, friends, acts of service, and self-care. Whether it’s for a pet, a hobby, sports, the community, or nurturing our own self-worth, our values still align with this spirit of care and connection.

Whatever beliefs, life choices, and love decisions we face, may they be strengthened through collaboration, respect, and compassion.
