Aeneid; An Inspiration

The story of Aeneas was very inspiring. See, how grateful he faces the challenges and hindrances of his life. This only shows that God is not bad for giving us such challenges. The truth is He is very good for giving us those problems that will make us stronger and better person. Like Aeneas for instance, he believe that searching for Rome will conquer his hardship and even his fellow countrymen. By that, he became successful and was able to save himself and others. That shows the power of God. Even almost half of troy was dead they were able to succeed. This also shows positive outlook in life. Imagine, what if Aeneas didn’t do anything for troy and just let those things happened, do you think he will succeed? No. Because trust in oneself is very important with faith in God and bravery. 

As one of the reader of Aeneas story about fall of troy, I do believe that I should feel sympathy. All those things that happened during that time almost disrespect the people. Actually, Aeneas emphasized all his hardship during his travel. Every single day, he is suffering from those hindrances but good thing is he was able to face all those.
        By that if I where Aeneas I will do the same thing. I’ll leave Greece and look for Rome. With that I can escaped and avoid having a sorrowful life under Homer. I’ll try to do everything to make a change and I would not let my fellow countrymen to suffer with grief.
