writes:Dear Cupid,I didn't think your aim could get any worse, but yet again you manage to surprise me. I look at his bizarre carnival sometimes and I wander if there is truly method to your madness. Maybe I am looking at it too closely. If I just zoom out a bit I could be able to grasp the bigger picture. Or maybe you just get your kicks out of sticking random people in the ass? Well, as the wacky offspring of love and war, your choices may not be so haphazard after all. I mean, that would actually explain why the couple that I saw smooching by the stairs in the morning and could barely unglue their lips long enough for me to pass, were calculating projectile motion in the afternoon. It was fascinating. The girl threw shoes, TV's, and guitars from the balcony with a type of canon arm that would Peyton Manning look like a pussy, and the boy measured the time it took for them to hit the ground (in seconds). I think they were trying to get the acceleration. Or perhaps you'd kindly explain to me why the couple who's been married for twenty years has sex once a year, and two people who just met in the club two hours ago, are making my ceiling practically crumble on the laptop as I write this? Are long-term relationships inversely proportional to sex availability or intensity? What's that formula again: sex intensity= 1/ (time spent in relationship) + (number of elicit lovers) - number of offspring produced -longevity of mother in law+ combined income - number of weapons in the house. That sounds about right. Or perhaps the girl who lost her virginity on her wedding night, woke up beside a three-headed snake and ran so fast we didn't even have time to tell her that he looked exactly like her husband. Or how so many ladies I know keep revolving doors in the bedroom, but when their husbands try to get in they activate this unique force shields that only allow voices to pass through, which come out loud and shrilly ( I am told is only a perceived phenomenon to hide their musical quality so their husbands are not seduced by it). Or perhaps you can elaborate on how so many young, good kids are losing to horrible illnesses without ever knowing what love is? How many of them will never have a chance to feel this ephemerally beautiful emotion that we who are healthy and of sound mind (apparently) take for granted every day? Yours truly, A friend

 Your points made in this article are interesting, and well-observed. You're vocabulary is impressive, and you are grammatically perfect: something I admire. If presented in a different format, my opinion of these points would probably change entirely!But, taking into account my interpretation of your tone in this article... do you have a point? Or was it just an observation that the Dear Cupid community is not omniscient?If you think that the world's going to pot, that mankind is generally hopeless when it comes to love... fine. Whatever. That's your opinion, and I respect that.But could you do us all a favour, and NOT take it out on the ones who are actually TRYING to help?Now I'm not saying that YOU are one, but I meet foul people all the time: sitting at the sidelines; watching as other people struggle through life, try to get through each day, try to make the right choices... Yet, instead of lending a helping hand, they just sit there and think "why bother? I've seen it all before: they'll never make it."Well, that struggle is what makes us who we are. Nobody is perfect: far from it. But how you take on these challenges life throws at you, and how you deal with the consequences, is what defines us as individuals.I'm not saying you are one of these people: maybe you've been hurt in some way before and have given up, or maybe you simply don't like Dear Cupid.But, unless you have something useful to say to the people that come to this site for help, then I request that you don't say anything at all. People learn from their mistakes, and this site is purely here to provide guidance to those who want it.All the best.

reader, anonymous, writes (24 September 2009): Love can seem haphazard, I agree. It does seem like random arrows are flying everywhere, with no logical pattern or plan in mind.
But just to give my perspective, I think LOVE is there inside every one of us. Some people are more able to find it than others. And it can be a different kind of love for each person and situation. But it is love. It is there, blazing passionately within the two lovers. It is there, fierce, protective and proud in the heart of the parent. It is there, weak maybe, sputtering like a dying candle, but still there, inside the heart of the betrayed. It is there in all of it's beauty and innocence inside the heart of a child.
Do we always feel it? No. Life, and the various situations we come across, can push it down, far down, underneath a sea of confusion and pain. But I think it is always there, somewhere, with the possibility of being made stronger.
Just my random thoughts anyway.
I really like this article, and the way you have wrote it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and observations. x

What was your point again? I got lost in a sea of philosophical drama. Was your intent to pose a serious question or to pour poetic rhetoric in to text?
