By natural design, humans are generally driven by their emotions. In fact, majority of what they do are propelled by how they are feeling. Angry people yell and throw stuff. The sad ones usually cry in a corner and remain silent except for the occasional sobs. The happy ones simply radiate happiness. They laugh out loud, smile a lot even at total strangers, and just generally goof around without a care.

It is also a habit of people to given out tokens or other small presents just to show appreciation. They give out cards to inspire or to propel the other to keep on moving. Sometimes they also give out flower bouquets, especially to very special women in their lives. It has even become customary to give out florals during Valentines, along with chocolate gift baskets.

It also comes in many types. The pure ones are typically unsweetened and contains cocoa butter and solids in varied proportions. Sweetened chocolate is added with sugar, while milk chocolate is added with condensed milk or milk powder. White is made with no cocoa solids, hence its color.
