Take a deep breath for a minute and open your heart. Say “I love you” to your sweetheart, wife, husband, fiancée, father and mother. Forget about the bombs, killings and assassinations and leave a moment of happiness for your heart today. Ignore anyone bothers you. Feel the word “love”. Listen to love songs. Buy red roses and give them to your love. Don’t read bad news. Focus on the happy things you might not see soon and say, “Happy Valentine”.Go out and find a presents shop. Start the engine of your car, challenge death, go out and buy a present to your beloved ones. Do not hesitate. If you see something you don’t like in the street, ignore it and think of the love present and the smile you are going to see on the face of your beloved ones.
If you don’t have fuel in your car, leave it and take a taxi. Don’t find an excuse to stay sad. Call your friends and tell them you miss them and you miss the old days and the happy times you had before the war. Go and see them, at least for 10 minuets. Go out for lunch with them. You’ll see how happy they will be when they see you.
Before it gets dark, take your wife, husband, fiancée, boyfriend or girlfriend and go to a restaurant and have dinner. Don’t say anything about the war, occupation or terrorists. Forget about the hard time you are going through and think of your love only. Think of how you are going to have babies and how you are going to be happy.
Keep your smile the whole day and keep your faith and hope. I know this sounds impossible these days but it is worth to try. Happy Valentine! :)

This is so romantic, Treasure! Happy Valentine to you too. May you find love and happiness for all of your life. And by the way, it's not impossible to find all of this in the midest of the chaos.. everything comes on its time! Good luck my friend.
