Unfair LOVE

Oh my God! I loved the myth of Apollo and Daphne, it is so sad but so true! I felt absolutly reflected in the myth. Apollo was stuck by Cupid with an arrow of love and Daphne with an arrow to repel love. All she wants is to run away from men and avoid love and marriage in every way she can. She is so beautiful and pretty that she attracks everyone that she encounters. Apollo is madly inlove with her but even though he tries as hard as possible she is not willing to love him back. He is one of the wisest of the gods, "Apollo loved her, and longed to obtain her; and he who gives oracles to all the world was not wise enough to look into his own fortunes." He could not do anything regarding love. It is the top most uncontrolable feeling, nobody decides who they fall in love with. Funny, isn't it? For me, love is the most important thing of live, along with peace and happiness. What is life without love? Being the most vital thing, we should be able to control it, but it is out of our hands completly.

This myths describes the phenomenom of falling in love alone. In the movie The Holiday, Kate Winslet talks about all kind of love; inconditional, crazy, distant, and the worst of all, lonely love. It is so horrible, unbearable. The one inlove does plans everything to catch the other one, the owner of her/his heart but the other one has absolutly no will to do anything to establish a relationship. Tough for the inlove person, and anyoing to the other.

Pyramus and Thisbe's myth is quite tragic. Reminds me of Romeo and Juliet, their love is insane and eternal and one commits suicide believing that the other is dead, and it isn't so, when the lover finds out the suicide kills him(her)self and both end up dead! Love is crazy, blind, notunderstandable, unbearable and mean, but at the same time incondicional. Operas are also like the myth, a tragedy, in which everybody ends up dead because of the wrong reason.

Cephalus and Procitus myth is so tragic as well, I am starting to understand why the Greek tragedies are the root of all other tragedies. It basically talks about the same thing, love. Jealousy and misunderstandings that lead to .....DEATH. Communnication is the key to solve all problems, the lak of it lead to big issues and complex trouble. Many realtionships end because of its lack, what is necesary for it not to happen?!
