Is Cupid the Face of Love?

Many of you may look forward to this day, others may dread it. February 14th, Valentine’s Day is here and it’s more of a day for the ladies out there, although the guys get some special loving too I’m sure.

So to continue with my face theme, I thought we’d go with the special holiday and we’ll take a look at Cupid.

I must admit, to me Cupid looks like a female in a lot of the pictures, but in fact is a HE. Wikipedia can prove it with their very revealing pictures. I know we already had a revealing picture yesterday, so I opted not to go there today.

According to Wikipedia, in Roman mythology, Cupid (Latin cupido) is the god of erotic love and sex. He is equated with the Greek god Eros, and another one of his Latin names Amor (cognate with Kama)

It is said that if Cupid’s arrow hits you, you will fall hopelessly and madly in love with the next person you meet. I know many are waiting, and waiting for that arrow of love to hit them.

When I think of Cupid I think back to when I was a kid and I’d get a bunch of Valentine’s in my little mail box in elementary school. Most had Cupid on them of course. I remember feeling bad for some of the kids that didn’t get as many as the others. I’m not sure why the teachers didn’t make it a rule that if you handed them out you had to give to everyone in the class.

Is Cupid the ‘Face of Love’?

I’m not sure myself. If you are with someone you love, I think you already know the Face of Love. If you don’t have a special someone for this day, you’ll have to wait until you do meet your ‘soulmate’ as some like to call it.

What you see when you look at Cupid’s face is up to you, but I hope everyone eventually meets that Face of Love.
