I did some reading up on Eros, the god of Love of the soul. I found out some interesting stories and quotes

"it is said that there is no sort of courage more respected by the gods than the one coming from Love"

the story that comes from this quote is most notibly, The tale of Achillies. His love for his best friend Patroclus was greater than all else, and he avenged his death by fearlessly seeking to slay Hector I, even though he knew his fate was to die soon after completing his objective.

the idea that Love is greater than all is a comforting thought.


The idea that people of old would value courage coming from Love so highly is a proud one. I am proud to call myself a human.
