Valentine Message: "Love is the beauty of the soul."

 Two Valentine Stories

"Love is the beauty of the soul." - Saint Augustine

Dr Abe V Rotor

1. Valentine Bouquet from Far Away* 

Where have all the flowers gone? 
 tear drops become lovely, 
when a bouquet suddenly arrives,
crossed the deepest ocean
climbed the highest mountain,  
weathered the strongest storm; 
the human spirit lives!

"At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet." - Plato

*Author wife, Cecille seems not to believe her eyes as she receives a box of beautiful flowers from their children living tn Metro Manila, 410 km away from their ancestral residence in San Vicente, Ilocos Sur.

2. "I can not feel."- Computer*

Here is a story of a computer enthusiast, who, like the modern student of today, relies greatly on this electronic gadget, doing his school work so conveniently like downloading data for his assignment. So one day he worked on his assigned topic – love.

He printed the word and set the computer to define for him L-O-V-E. 

Pronto the computer came up with a hundred definitions and in different languages.

Remembering his teacher’s instruction to ask, “How does it feel to be in love?” again he set the computer to respond. And you know what?

After several attempts, the computer printed on its screen in big letters:
“I can not feel.” ~

* The computer has no feeling. It lacks the biological capacity to experience emotions like humans do.  It can only process information based on programmed instructions. Sometimes it may analyze and interpret human emotions from data, but this does not mean the computer itself is experiencing those feelings. AI Overview
