Valentine's

I found this at Happy Famous Artists. It was dated February 14. How come this seems fine on Valentine's Day, but has something offensive about it today?
Maybe it's because VD is for the individual, while today is for the group. And so, today it implies that this is the value I find important in a woman. While on February 14, it is about this one individual being gorgeous. Yet, isn't there something disturbing even about this appearing on Valentine's? The fact that what we celebrate is beauty?
Beauty. Can't live with it, but would have a hard time ignoring it either.

I believe we celebrate valentine’s day for love no beauty this blogger has confused, love with beauty. Yes valentines day is for the individual however to celebrate love and the happy artist’s are using the term ‘beautiful’ in the post card in a metaphorical sense where beauty is semiotically representing words for love, for example companion ship, friendship, lust for another because, If you use the word beautiful in a sentence which is directed to women, it sends signals of not only of the initial word its self but other connotations furthermore it transcends to another representational meaning, and could be being interpreted as communicating a sense a fondness of the individual (love.) beauty is also used in that representational form as a description of food “its Beautiful” however the food may not initially appear attractive, look aesthetically pleasing but because it tastes desirable “beautiful” hence the relative term, “beautiful.” We describe it in that way because then we are, therefore not just celebrating beauty on valentines day and please don’t assume only beautiful women are being accepted and acknowledged on valentines day, but try to understand the term “beautiful” can also be used as a metaphorical representation of everything you are attached to in/on the whole person in general but a means to communicate your thoughts in one word obviously women understand or should be aware of what there partners are most fond of in relation to the individual (her self)and therefore the message sums up the gentleman‘s views for that particular moment on that particular day. He could just of easily just wrote “for the most annoying woman in the world, but I still love you.” which would probably not receive the attention/response he possible initially imagined on that particular moment on that particular day.
