How does it feel?

In the story of Aeneid by Virgil, as Aeneas of Troy tells about the story about the fall of his city, I really felt sympathy not on him only but for all of his fellow countrymen in his city. This was one of the most heart-breaking scene occurred in the story. It was about telling a story on how your own land or your own city fell down by the hands of others not by the natural calamities.

As I realized what this part of the story means, I really felt bad and pity them. Comparing it to our real life, we usually want, if ever, that something would happen to us and to the place where we are, we would really want our lost to be because of natural calamities not from the other people who wants to rule us. We would never want to be ruled by anybody and be thrown away in our own land or worst, we would never want to see our land being destroyed by someone.

For every challenge, we should always accept that there will be a time that we are on top and times that we are at the bottom. At those times that we are at the top of achieving what we wanted to be, we should know how to control our feelings and know each of everyone’s limitations. For the times that we are at the bottom, we usually feels down but it’s normal as long as we can still handle ourselves. For those times, we should know how to accept those downfalls and know how to make a way in order to rise again even though there were a lot of walls blocking us. We should still look forward. Even if there were millions of reasons of giving up and losing that simple goal, we should at least or we should still find one reason on how to stay positive and fight those circumstances.

As Aeneas finally reached Rome, I prove that my perspective in life about positivism and action is true. It is because, despite of many challenges that happened to them, they still fought and pursue the duties given to them – to find Rome and lead it. As a conclusion, I can say that I felt pity on them but it changed as they try to rise again and show that they were really brave enough than the other cities because they were together and helped each other not for their own sake but for all of them.
