All living beings in hell

Chapter 115 - Cupid

The lotus lantern at the entrance was lit up, and the office welcomed the No.60 eight guests.

An arrow suddenly flew in from the door, and I quickly dodged sideways. The arrow crossed my right cheek and stuck deeply on the bookshelf behind me.I looked back at the arrow, and the arrow instantly turned into gold powder and scattered into the air.I touched the place on the right side of my face where the arrow had scratched, but there was no scar left.

"Aha, what a quick reaction!"

A child's voice of indistinguishable gender came from the door, and a little angel with a bare buttocks and a bow and arrow flew into the office with flapping wings.

"Cupid?"

"Has my reputation spread to hell!"

"Maybe bigger in the world."

The little angel doesn't sit on a wooden chair, he flaps his wings and hovers in the air looking at me.

"Yes, I am Cupid, the God of Love!"

"Why did you shoot me with an arrow?"

"It's fun. If it really hits the target, what would it be like for a meticulous hell official to fall in love? It's really exciting!"

Cupid's overly enthusiastic tone made me feel a little disturbed: "Cupid, sit down, sit on the chair and talk. I'm dazzled by flying around."

Cupid was like a child who had been trained, he flew to the chair and sat down with some reluctance.The little short leg was bent against his inner thigh, and the other leg naturally hung in the air and swung back and forth.He always holds the bow and arrow in his hand and refuses to put it down.

"Why did you find me today?"

"I'm bored! I don't want to be a god!"

"The god of love shoots bows and arrows every day, and holds the red thread, shouldn't it be a very interesting job? Why is it boring?"

"An interesting job that gets boring after a long time. I have been doing this job for hundreds of years. I make people fall in love and watch them part. Of course, if sometimes the arrow shoots wrong, there are also many unrequited love. I'm tired of watching hot love, quarrels, and cold wars. As a god of love, I'm ashamed to say that. I think human love is nothing more than this. I always walk into some kind of dead end, and there is no solution at all. medicine.

The only wow I can do is shoot arrows again and again and make them hormonal and in love again.But falling in love is no use at all!The same problem continued to happen, and the relationship between the two always entered a dead end again at similar contradictory points.Boring human beings, who never know how to learn, only know how to complain that the other party has not given enough.After reading so much, I feel that human love is nothing more than this. "

"Sounds like hard work, tea?"

"I don't drink bitter tea, I only like to eat sweet things."

"Sorry, there's only water."

"Forget it, it's better for me not to touch your hellish things, it might be unacceptable." Cupid showed a disgusted expression, which suddenly made me think he was a little cute.

I made myself hot tea and listened to him continue.

"Hard work is hard work. I run around with a bow and arrow every day, looking for a poor worm who longs for love and needs to shoot an arrow. This matter is very complicated! Hard work is hard work, and it is much more fun than hard work! Watching two human beings falling How interesting it is to be in love! Sometimes the moment when they fight is even more interesting than falling in love. I, I just like to watch the process of the beginning and end of a relationship, which is why I have been a god of love for so long."

"You have been the god of love for so long, so what do you think love is?"

"Love is a necessity for human beings. Many human beings don't think so, and think that money, family affection, and reputation are more important than love. In fact, there is no order of importance at all! From my observation, everyone wants What they want is love, but when love happens, they don't know how to face and deal with it."

"Oh? What does it mean to not know how to face and deal with love?"

"Under what circumstances does the author think that two people who love each other very much will have a quarrel?"

"There are many situations, most likely due to disagreement or lack of security?"

"There are all the situations you mentioned. As far as I can observe, when they see a side of themselves in this relationship that they are very unwilling to face, quarrels will happen."

"Be specific about this."

"It's complicated to say, let me put it simply. Every human being has insecurities, anxiety, and fears caused by various reasons. Do you agree with this?"

"I agree."

Cupid also put the leg hanging in the air on the chair and sat cross-legged.

"The feeling of finding the other half makes people feel whole in their soul, and this wholeness also comes with a strong dependence. If this dependence is not handled well, it will bring a strong opposite, which is separation. Fear and insecurity. At this time, you need more attention, comfort, and even commitment from the other party. These can fill your own insecurity. But human nature, as you know, is a bottomless pit. Where is this emptiness? Can it be filled by others?

For most of humanity, the paradox arises!
For example - I went to this partner for security, so I asked for security from my partner, and my partner gave commitment and gave security.But a partner is also a human being, and if you give something, you want something in return.In terms of the essence of human nature, if the other party wants to fill the vacancy in their own humanity through an equal amount of material exchange, this couple is likely to empty each other out, and both sides are exhausted without knowing what happened.Of course, this state can last a lifetime. Anyway, human life is short, and it will disappear after a snap. "

"When you encounter a state you don't like, you can also improve your discomfort by adjusting your mind, can't you?"

"Having said that, it's not just about one person in a relationship. If one person is desperately trying to adjust himself, and the other person doesn't know what's going on, but still seeks security in the same way, do you think it will be what happened?"

"Sounds exhausting."

Cupid put down the bow and arrow in his hand and put his hands behind his head: "That's right, I'm tired. The love of this group of humans can't be done."

When I heard Cupid calling himself Lao Tzu, I couldn't help laughing out loud: "Then why do you still work so hard on archery?"

"Look at us gods, always working with great vision and hope! I have seen so many forms of love, some sad and some beautiful, although there are only a handful of them. But beautiful love, The love that both parties grow up together really exists in human beings. I don’t even need to shoot arrows for that kind of love, just watch and appreciate it.”

"What is the love that grows together?"

Cupid's expression became serious: "Those who have faith and awareness."

"Can you be specific?"

"There is no standard for this, and there are even few examples. Generally speaking, it requires a high degree of compatibility between the two parties at all levels. This kind of concept and feeling of compatibility can bring about a degree of tolerance that most people cannot match. Because they not only To be tolerant of each other is to be tolerant of our own dark side. This is important for personal growth.”

"Even in an intimate relationship, you need to care about your own growth." I thought about it and said something.

Cupid nodded: "I'm too tired, there are only a handful of such couples in hundreds of years. As the god of love, I certainly hope that people can understand the ultimate experience of love, but today's human cognition of love is still at a very low level. On the superficial part, it feels like my performance is not doing well."

"If your job is just to find the target and shoot the arrow, the process after that may have nothing to do with you, it depends entirely on how they want to develop."

"It's just about finding a target and shooting an arrow. It's a lot of pressure! Look at me, a kid, I have endured the pressure that I shouldn't have to bear at this age."

"A lot of children who are hundreds of years old."

Cupid laughed out loud, and he smartly pulled out an arrow and put it on my wooden table: "I'm going to resign anyway, and whoever wants to take the position of Cupid, the god of love, here. Here, let me give you a souvenir. This is An arrow belonging to the god of love."

"What is the use of this arrow?"

"If you hit two people at the same time, they will fall in love with each other. It can be a ghost or a god. Of course, if it is framed, it is also very beautiful. If you frame it, I can leave you an autograph."

"Oh...Okay, I'll put it away first. Thank you for the souvenir."

I opened the desk drawer and put the wooden arrow in it.

"When are you going to resign?"

"Before I resign, I plan to find five more couples to conduct an experiment."

"Why five pairs?"

"I've been observing these ten people for a long time. From a human point of view, they are atypical. They also have high learning ability and self-awareness. I want to see if human beings can fall in love."

"Well, I wish you a happy future work."

"Happy, I am happy, you should be happy too!"

"I'm happy too."

Cupid flapped his little wings and flew up from the chair, circled twice in the air, then drew his bow and arrows and shot an arrow towards the sky of hell.The arrow whizzed out from the skylight and disappeared into the dark sky.

"Sometimes, love happens only if it is so irresponsible to be fun."

"It seems that being a god of love really needs to be chic."

"Do you know why I always present myself as a child?"

"why?"

"Because it's only reasonable, even holy, for a child to do such a thing. Funny, human love is decided by an unreliable child."

After Cupid finished speaking, he laughed a few times in a self-deprecating manner, waved his wings, and rushed out from the skylight.
