Personal Commemoration - Reflection #7

This event will happen in the future. It happens in heaven after Jesus came down to earth. All of the true believers of Jesus Christ will go up to heaven including me. This will happen during my lifetime. In heaven, the people such as Abraham, David, Moses, and etc will be attending. So, this event is very important because it celebrates true Christians coming into heaven and having an eternal life with God. This commemoration will last for about an hour and after my speech, angels and the people will praise and dance. At the commemoration, I will perform a speech saying, “I am truly thankful to Jesus Christ for this awesome day. Satan had been defeated and only peace with joy remains here in heaven. We will praise the Lord and dance forever. Again, I give thanks to the Lord, our God our king! Hallelujah!” To remember and celebrate this event, some physical (tangible) actions would be dancing to the praise songs and angels will play the trumpet. No one will envy or boast, but only love exists along with happiness forever. Everyone wears gold for clothing and shines so beautiful. The foods are healthy such as bread, wine, and etc. Bread will represent Jesus Christ’s body and wine would be his blood. Then, we will fly across the cloud and head to God. God will greet us with a very big loving hug and a smile. Every single word God says will be touched into our hearts. I truly believe this event is going to happen someday.

The Morality of Greek Myths- Reflection #6

Cupid and Psyche

Once upon a time, God Venus became very jealous about Psyche’s beauty and orders her son, Cupid to shoot his golden arrow to Psyche so Psyche will eventually fall in love with a very poor creature (a man). When Cupid went down to Earth, he couldn’t shoot his golden arrow to Psyche because of Psyche’s beauty. However, Cupid didn’t show himself to Psyche promising not to try to look, so one day; Psyche was convinced from her sisters to kill Cupid. As a result, Cupid ran away because of Psyche’s betrayal when Psyche was trying to kill Cupid but she didn’t’ because of Cupid’s beauty. This myth attempt to answer the morals people should learn. There were many morals I procured. I learned that love shouldn’t have curiosity, but trust. If curiosity exists, then it may lead to a failing love. For example, Psyche was curious how Cupid looked like; there was a lack of trust. It eventually led to a failure. Also, being jealous on someone like Venus is a negative thing to learn. Instead of being envious and jealous, you should show respect. So, the important virtue for the Greeks would be having trust in love. When you are in love with someone, they you shouldn’t betray, but to show trust and remain in love for the better. Also, when Venus hated Psyche, they were like enemies. But, you should always love your enemies and show respect one another.
