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. But that s about all he loves anymore. Unfortunately, Cupid s peril became an earthly plague.
