What If Minotaur Really Existed Today?
Thinking about a difficult day that is like a labyrinth, all of a sudden it reminds me about Minotaur, who is a mythological creature in Greek mythology that was once hold and housed in a very difficult, gigantic structure with so much branching patterns and was hidden from the eyes of the world that is called the labyrinth.
Minotaur who is a representation of a half-bull and a half-man monster, once lived isolated in a labyrinth of loneliness under the island of Crete, which is like a confusing structure somewhat like a maze. A maze may have a beginning way and and an ending path but not with a labyrinth.
If you are being hold in this kind of structure for a very long time, then you have to bid goodbye to your family and loved ones for it is really so hard to escape on it in a sense that it has a very confusing route and it has no directions for navigation.
Traveling back from the golden time in the Greek mythology, Minotaur had become a half-bull and half man monster due to a sin of Minos, a legendary king of Crete, who is the son of Zeus and Europa. Pasiphae was the mother of Minotaur, but King Minos was not his biological father.
When King Minos wanted to please Poseidon, Poseidon, the god of the sea, had given him a white bull, yet King Minos was attracted to the magnificence of the white bull. Instead of sacrificing and offering back the white bull, what dominated was his greed, and he betrayed Poseidon by owning the bull that was given to him.
Poseidon got mad at King Minos, so he had revenged back to his wife and had even became fierce. He had done everything to punish King Minos through Eros, the God of passion, so Pasiphae would fall in love with the bull, and resulted to a monstrous offspring, Minotaur.
Minotaur seemed very innocent of what had happened in the past, but due to a sin in a form of betrayal by King Minos, everything was full of misfortunes in a blink of time as it had caused a great suffering and destruction to his very own life through fate of making him a monstrous mythological creature.
King Minos did not kill Minotaur but he had demanded that the monstrous creature would be hidden from the eyes of anyone. He had caged him in a labyrinth where every route seemed so confusing making it very hard to escape making him a neglected child. The story seems so dark and is full of tragedy but it is through fate that made Minotaur a monstrous creature.
However, despite being nourished and nursed by his mother, Pasiphae, Minotaur had grown being monstrous, ferocious, and devoured humans.
But, what if Minotaur really existed today?
Have you ever wondered how will the world be when Minotaur really existed? What if you you also be housed in a labyrinth every time you commit a sin? If you were Minotaur, how would you run for your life?
Personally, thinking about myself being stuck in a labyrinth all the days of my life is like being trapped in a miserable with nowhere to go wherein my only option is either to live or die.
How lonely my life would be if I am the Minotaur, with no one to be there for me, even my very own mother cannot even defend me for who and what I am. Somewhere in the story, there is greed, portraying that living creatures are sometimes inhumane most especially when power and greed dominates the world.
But, what if Minotaur really existed today? How would the world be?
Considering that Minotaur is a monstrous creature, a victim of greed, despite innocence was being deprived of the light of the world that had paved way for him to live a life that is full of misery and loneliness until his death.
Perhaps the story of Minotaur is a sole visualization of vengeance in the world. If Minotaur really existed today, probably the world is not a safe and a better place to live in when he was able to escape in the labyrinth. There would be war against nations. There would be more troubles and agonies every single day as greed, selfishness, revenge, cruelty, and violence would dwell in everyone's hearts.
If Minotaur really existed today, the world would be drowned with so much anger and hatred. There would be no more space for love, hope, faith, and peace all over the world. Fear would be echoing its loudest screams and cries, and that cruelty would rule the world as the monstrous creature devours everybody most especially when Minotaur becomes more ferocious day by day.
In conclusion, if Minotaur really existed today, everyone dies.

I'm really not a fan of Greek mythology but I remember that we had a lesson about labyrinth and other Gods and Goddesses like you mentioned.
