Today we celebrating Valentine’s Day and the air are full of love. I notice that many couples spent their valentines at the mall having their dinner date. My wife and I we celebrate it, attending mass this afternoon and have a simple dinner date with our son. Anyway, how Valentines Day got started? Why Valentines Day is symbolized or associated with Cupids? Have you ever wondered why? When I was a kid, I used to believe that cupids are part of it. The story of Cupid is about love. Cupid fell in love with Psyche, a mortal. They got married with the condition that Psyche is not allowed to see Cupid. Until one day, she defied this condition but Cupid ran away from her. Consequently, she wanted to be reunited with Cupid. So, Psyche paid a visit to Venus, Cupid’s mother. She did several trials and tests. And she passed. As a reward, Venus reunited Psyche and Cupid. Sooner or later, Cupid and Psyche gave birth to a child named pleasure. So before this day ends, don’t waste time-spent time with your family or friends, life is so short. Make this day meaningful to others.
