The Day Love Was Invented with Receipt and Invoice

In the article, the Patriarch comments on the commercialization of Valentine's Day, arguing that it has become a mandatory display of love with a financial cost. He criticizes the idea of compulsory happiness and the pressure on people to buy gifts and post photos on social media to prove their love. He points out the guilt felt by those who do not participate in this commercial holiday. The author argues that true love does not need an expiration date and is expressed through small, everyday acts of care and honesty, not through expensive gifts and displays. He suggests that people celebrate Valentine's Day in the most rebellious way: by doing what they do on other days.
