Certainly most of us associate the month of February with Valentine's Day or, on the contrary, we want a growing detachment from this habit. It is indeed quite syrupy to associate a month of the year with the month of love, but the most cynical would say that there is no specific time to show love to a partner or a loved one. Especially since, over time, everyone has built a different definition regarding love and its implications. In the Romanian tradition, Valentine's Day is called Dragobete, which is celebrated on February 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article is on a mission to show you that February is not only about love but can have many other meanings depending on culture, traditions and customs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, let's see what is the etymology of the word February, as it has an interesting story behind it. It seems that the starting point of the word is in Februalia, which was a Roman festival aimed at purification. We therefore deduce that February would be a month of purification, on a more spiritual note. However, in American culture, February is one of the coldest months of the year, but we cannot anticipate this given the increasingly alarming climate change. February 12th is equally important to Americans as it is the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th US president, recognized for his moral implications regarding the abolition of slavery, for example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 15, 1820, Susan B. Anthony was born, a remarkable activist for women's rights and the feminist wave of the suffragettes. The month of February already seems to be no longer just about love, considering the fact that it dates the births of important historical figures for the political and social movements of the time, especially for the feminist one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's more than nice to associate a moon with such a complex feeling as love, but I don't think it's the most important aspect to analyze. People are the ones through which things can be achieved, changes, revolutions aimed at changing a problematic situation into something better. "Be the change you wish to see in the world", Gandhi once said. It was precisely for this reason that I thought it necessary to mention Susan B. Anthony, since every action can count and significantly change the course of a movement that dates back and manifests itself today, in different forms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The urge would be to try to look at things more deeply and be more critical in thinking about the really important days in a month. Maybe if Susan hadn't had a say in her time, things would have turned out differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, let's give more importance to the people who may have marked history, in one form or another, and not necessarily to some holidays that, yes, can be more than nice, but which can take over everything by the fact that they already become clich\u00e9s. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Cu siguran\u021b\u0103 c\u0103 majoritatea dintre noi asociaz\u0103 luna februarie cu Valentine\u2019s Day sau, din contr\u0103, se dore\u0219te o deta\u0219are tot mai mare de acest obicei. Este, \u00eentr-adev\u0103r, destul de siropos s\u0103 asociezi o lun\u0103 din an cu luna dragostei, \u00eens\u0103 cei mai cinici ar spune c\u0103 nu exist\u0103 o perioad\u0103 specific\u0103 pentru a manifesta iubirea fa\u021b\u0103 de partener sau de o persoan\u0103 drag\u0103. Mai cu seam\u0103 c\u0103, fiecare \u0219i-a construit de-a lungul timpului, o defini\u021bie diferit\u0103 cu privire la iubire \u0219i la implica\u021biile acesteia. \u00cen tradi\u021bia rom\u00e2neasc\u0103, Ziua \u00cendr\u0103gosti\u021bilor poart\u0103 denumirea de Dragobete, care se s\u0103rb\u0103tore\u0219te pe 24 februarie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acest articol are misiunea de a v\u0103 ar\u0103ta c\u0103 februarie nu este numai despre dragoste, ci poate avea multe alte semnifica\u021bii \u00een func\u021bie de cultur\u0103, tradi\u021bii \u0219i obiceiuri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cenainte de toate, haide\u021bi s\u0103 vedem care este etimologia cuv\u00e2ntului februarie, \u00eentruc\u00e2t are o poveste interesant\u0103 \u00een spate. Se pare c\u0103 punctul de plecare al cuv\u00e2ntului este \u00een Februalia, care era un festival roman ce avea ca scop purificarea. Deducem deci, c\u0103 februarie ar fi o lun\u0103 a purific\u0103rii, \u00eentr-o not\u0103 mai spiritual\u0103. Cu toate acestea, \u00een cultura american\u0103, februarie este una dintre cele mai friguroase luni ale anului, \u00eens\u0103 nu putem anticipa acest lucru date fiind schimb\u0103rile climatice ce devin tot mai \u00eengrijor\u0103toare. Ziua de 12 februarie este la fel de important\u0103 pentru americani \u00eentruc\u00e2t aceasta este data na\u0219terii lui Abraham Lincoln, al 16-lea pre\u0219edinte american, recunoscut pentru implica\u021biile sale morale \u00een ceea ce prive\u0219te abolirea sclaviei, spre exemplu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pe 15 februarie 1820 , s-a n\u0103scut Susan B. Anthony, o activist\u0103 remarcabil\u0103 pentru drepturile femeii \u0219i pentru valul feminist al sufragetelor. Luna februarie pare deja c\u0103 nu mai este doar despre dragoste, av\u00e2nd \u00een vedere faptul c\u0103 dateaz\u0103 na\u0219terile unor figuri istorice importante pentru mi\u0219c\u0103rile politico-sociale ale vremii, mai ales pentru cea feminist\u0103. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este mai mult dec\u00e2t dr\u0103gu\u021b s\u0103 asociem o lun\u0103 unui sentiment at\u00e2t de complex precum este iubirea, \u00eens\u0103 nu consider c\u0103 este cel mai important aspect de analizat. Oamenii sunt cei prin care se pot realiza lucruri, schimb\u0103ri, revolu\u021bii ce au ca scop modificarea unei situa\u021bii problematice \u00een ceva mai bun. \u201cBe the change you wish to see in the world\u201d ,a afirmat, c\u00e2ndva, Gandhi. Tocmai din acest motiv mi s-a p\u0103rut necesar s\u0103 o men\u021bion\u0103m pe Susan B. Anthony \u00eentruc\u00e2t fiecare ac\u021biune poate conta \u0219i poate modifica semnificativ cursul unei mi\u0219c\u0103ri, care dateaz\u0103 \u0219i se manifest\u0103 \u0219i ast\u0103zi, sub forme diferite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cendemnul ar fi s\u0103 \u00eencerc\u0103m s\u0103 privim lucrurile mai \u00een profunzime \u0219i s\u0103 fim mai critici \u00een g\u00e2ndire \u00een ceea ce prive\u0219te zilele cu adev\u0103rat importante dintr-o lun\u0103. Poate dac\u0103 Susan nu ar fi avut un cuv\u00e2nt de spus \u00een perioada sa, lucrurile ar fi ar\u0103tat altfel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Astfel, haide\u021bi s\u0103 acord\u0103m mai mult\u0103 importan\u021b\u0103 oamenilor ce au marcat poate istoria, sub o form\u0103 sau alta \u0219i nu neap\u0103rat unor s\u0103rb\u0103tori ce, da, pot fi mai mult dec\u00e2t simpatice, dar care pot acapara totul prin faptul c\u0103 devin deja cli\u0219eice. <\/p>\n","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7615","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articole","category-opinii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hertimeromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hertimeromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hertimeromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hertimeromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hertimeromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7615"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/hertimeromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7615\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8272,"href":"https:\/\/hertimeromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7615\/revisions\/8272"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hertimeromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hertimeromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hertimeromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hertimeromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
