Cupid and psyche is a moral statement. This story is told by Apuleius which was a Latin writer of the second century. Cupid and psyche relationship balance is heeded, with love and the mind, too much of the love isn’t good and too much of the mind isn’t either. That could mess up their relationship, what they had between them just because of a little too much of those things. It’s a moral statement because they know right from wrong, they know the things they should and should not do.

Cupid and psyche moral statement is that true love is possible, you just don’t love someone from the outside, because at the end of the day it’s how you feel about that person’s heart. You have to trust that person and never let that person go because when that trust leaves it’s very hard to earn it back it’s not easy. The important of trust with cupid and psyche is that true love has hard work, and then that love could be eternal, Cupid was the God of Love. This was saying you go through trails in relationships but you just have to see if you can get through them to know if it was real from the beginning. It would always be a happy ending, love and soul had sought and, after sore trails, found each other, and that the union could never be broken. To me some people I know older people don’t have trust in their own relationship they don’t know the other person loyalty they don’t know know anything they don’t put each other first at all, and most of the time that ruins a relationship. Why would you want to be with someone who does not care anything about you that wants to hurt you? You wouldn’t want that to be you at all, because from what I see love hurts and not all the time loves last. Love comes and goes, and when its coming you have to sit there and let love find you. That’s something you can’t chase and that’s not a word you just throw around, use it wisely and love someone that’s going to love you.

Cupid and psyche all they needed was trust and they found that. They needed to know that they love each other, and they knew that. They couldn’t have too much love and mind one relationship because it wasn’t going to work out. They worked out and at the end of the day they loved each other. Cupid and psyche was a moral statement because they knew right from wrong.
