Informal Theme #4.1

Irate truth.

            Nuclear, political, civil, whatever you call it, we scare war. Obviously, the idea of our home being devastated by pitiless rivals is a nightmare. Things would be very difficult by those times if we were in a kin situation. Yes, even I would be confused of my decisions on what to do and what shall not.   

            As Aeneas tells his story in the feast of Dido, I can’t help myself not to feel pity on him. Leaving your home would be difficult, what more if you will not really see it anymore. Tragic though, Aeneas did not let this defeat keep him from striving. In those times, going through would be the only choice everyone has in hand. If you’ll not move on and escape the falling ruins of Troy, you might as well be left back and slaughtered. 

            I really admire Aeneas showing such courage in times when you can’t really depend to anybody but yourself. Even though, in that time, we could say that Aeneas is in both deep grief and rage, he did not let these emotions run his decisions. He still was able to choose to do the right.

            Truly, this epic hero really taught me of giving weight on what is right than what we wanted to do. Turning back, surrendering is not a symbol of weakness. It is choosing to do what is supposed to.
