I donno about that Maral jan, but -- hyebruin is one of the most open-minded and respectful people on this board when it comes to others' opinions.  :) Maybe you 2 are misunderstanding each other. I don't know. And not gonna discuss that over here, but I suggest that you do talk about it.  :)

 

 

ahh yes, as you said!! :wub: :wub: :wub: http://armenians.com/forum/style_images/1/icon12.gif http://armenians.com/forum/style_images/1/icon12.gif :kisss: :toot: :clap:

 

:D

 

thanks dan! we're not "fighting" i just think she's being very blunt with some of her comments and quick to judge and categorize people....even a therapist would have more sensitivity than that... most armenians especially if they're a few years older have this tendency to be critical!!! god!! no wonder i couldn't stand the armenian teachers and nuns that taught us!!! i guess her tone just reminded me of old school days where we were scolded for no reason!! <_<

Hyebruin,sounds like she was right,some therapy might do you good.

 

Get over it.

:nono: what's with this whole psychoanalysis trend on HyeForum??? :angry: ME5, do you usually feel the urge to attack people out of the blue, when you didn't even take part in the discussion? :rolleyes:

What's all this nonsense? I have "opinions" where I call things dumb, but I don't go on top of people insisting it is dumb if someone else says it's not dumb for everyone. Yeah, spontaneity is good, and in relationships where circumstances have permitted it, I've done my fair share (it's not always the guys, you know!!), but the picture I am getting here is that a lot of people would rather not have the holiday so they don't have to put up with "And what did he get you??" at the workplace the next day. What's so bad? about letting people be happy about theirs and answering, "Oh, he said he was going to get me a surprise some other time, some other place." Betraying insecurity, that you like to show off, mark off the criteria in your checklist more than you appreciate?

Ironic that among all the religious holidays turned into Johnny's tradition, Valentine's Day, no matter how degenerate it has become, still makes the most sense. A couple is still a couple, lovers are still lovers, but during Christmas parents and relatives have a hard time trying to figure out what to get their kids that they don't already have - and it's always about one's own, hardly any charity in there. I don't see the point of singling out Valentine's Day. Oh but we do like Christmas, don't we, so we can get all those prezzies. Wake up!

For the record, I think all religious-adapted holidays are silly, but I don't see the harm, nothing in it to go gung-ho about.

OK, as I predicted, let's also look into Mr. Valentine's merits sometime.

As for Xmas, saviour he is not to me, and I think it is just pathetic that it is actually made an official holiday. And all the presents and blah blah about goodwill and loving and giving when there is none done for the needy. You have to remember all that for one day though not act upon it ever for the rest of the year?

And then all this about celebrating the transition from one year to another. Hogwash! Why can't you just party any random day of the year with the people you like? Prices of commodities will also be down unlike the season-highs, stop feeding the consumer machine... Same thing with Mothers' Day, Fathers' Day. Who forgets them, who can? (Some can't, some would wish.) They're all freaking days, each like the other.
