Stupid Cupid

[Austin S. Camacho]

This Saturday is the most romantic day of the year, and while this may mark me as unromantic, I don’t understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon.

Besides, after a dozen years with the same lovely lady I’ve learned that love is more than romance. It’s not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction.

[I. J. Parker]

An old symbol based on Greek/Roman mythology involving Venus and her son Cupid (Eros= God of Love).
