I better keep my mouth shut. Cupid left Aphrodite s presence with shame written all over his face. Aphrodite knew the impact and the results of Cupid s actions, but she kept silent for her own reputation s sake. She just began to work even harder to spread true love, which was futile. For lust became a plague, spreading faster than anyone could imagine.
Love is now scarce on the earth.
Love is now coveted. Lust runs rampant. Love still exists, but it now requires a diligent heart to be found. Cupid has little to do with love anymore. He loves his wife, and he loves his recliner.
