CUPID
Sometimes, humans stereotyping about Cupid as the baby angel with those tiny little wings, hell... I would curse from the celestial every time I remember exactly those classic paintings of the history until the modern era.
Let me tell you, itatak niyo din sa mga isipan niyo...
I am not like that.
So, talking here is the god of love. Yes, darling. LOVE. I am the one and only... Cupid.
Imagine me as an ordinary human pero mas gwapo lang ng ilang paligo (sige imagine mo). And of course, I have a magical weapon that humans can never have... my bow. Striking my arrow with a human is not easy dahil hindi lang yan naibabase sa pana ko. Kailangan ko ng sapat na kakayahan, lakas at enerhiya para maisagawa ang misyon ko.
I may be a god and we are called perfection but to sooth is, if we have strengths, we also have weaknesses but having a certain weakness should be better left unsaid because gods and goddesses are prone to rivalry and demise.
So being a god or a goddess doesn't guarantee our safety even though we are gifted with eternal life. Even though we are immortals.
With my label as the god of love, mas tambay na ako dito sa mundo ng mga tao kaysa sa totoo kong tahanan. Yes, you heard it right darling. Literal na tambay na talaga ako. Kulang na lang ay itakwil na ako ng mga magulang ko sa Olympus.
Pero hindi naman ako nagsisisi na mas marami na ang oras ko rito sa mundo ng nga tao. I keep on observing them so basically I can suit myself with them. I met many humans because of my job and with their trouble when it comes to love, now I am sure that defining love is not that easy. Love is a simple word with thousands of meaning. Well, it also comes with various definitions depends on a human's perspective pero kung manggagaling ito sa akin bilang isang god of love...
Love is felt anytime and anywhere with anyone.
My job is not just about helping those who are longing for the idea of love or the desperation to have one. Yes, I match them. I shoot them.
But sometimes, I kill with my powerful arrow. I kill hatred.
A bloodless death.
Ang mga tao minsan ay puno ng pagkapoot at pagkamuhi dahil sa mga karanasan nila sa buhay but that doesn't mean that you will need to live your life that way for eternity. You need to change for the better good.
I specifically use a peculiar arrow for killing it because hatred is not just an emotion. It is one of the dangerous and puissant inconspicuous enemy I had, am and will be facing.
Hindi gaya sa pagmamatch, it is harder to solve hatred than desperation and tangling connections. Because hatred might lead you to violence and destruction. So beyond one's strength, mas kailangan unahin ang pagsugpo sa galit at pagkamuhi.
For hatred is insatiable. It wants more. It wants to destroy love.
I am assigned to be the god of love because change is inevitable in the human world. And god of all gods know that I have the capability on proving humans that there's hope despite how darkness will devour and stain your innocent memories.
And I must say... Hatred should perish soon so love will bloom. My arrow should struck hatred soon.
