War is a very dangerous and traumatic event that could happen in
someone’s life. It can cause a trauma, pain, and sadness to every people who
happened to experience the life during war. It may be dangerous yet you can
actually learn something from it, you can learn how to appreciate life. If you
happen to be a soldier, the painful time to realize how good life is, is when
you got hit by the bullet. Flashbacks
are coming into your mind and you’ll remember every single detail of the time
you spent it with your love ones. The laugh, the joy, the happiness you felt
will come back. You will learn how to be courageous, to think fast, and to move
fast because you are currently in the field of war wherein this kind of skills
and personality is needed. If you happened to be the family and the society, all
of us will learn how to appreciate them, for they fought hard for us, for our
safety, and for the country. In war itself, we will learn how to be courageous,
since there is no exception. There are only two ways to stop dwelling because
of war. It’s either you can get killed literally or you’ll get killed by the
pain emotionally.
The story of the Trojan War is
the Bronze Age conflict between the kingdoms of Troy and Mycenaean Greece that
shakes the history and mythology of Ancient Greece. Trojan War is a war that
was never forgotten by many. It is the war that made a mark on lots of
literature books. The Trojan War do involves creatures that we couldn’t imagine
existing. It has events that could make people think if this is really true or
just a pure imagination of the writer himself, Homer.
As of today, archaeologists are
investigating where could this war have took place and they have already
uncovered increasing evidence about the kingdom. According to Near Eastern
Archaeology, The German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann uncovered a site,
known as Hisarlik, which many experts believed that this is the well-known city
of Troy. The city discovered is clearly destroyed during the Bronze Age War. In that case, we can really say that the
Trojan War may happen yet it may not be like how Homer described it on his
stories. Due to lack of evidence at Hisarlik, experts and archaeologists
continue to think whether or not the Trojan War took place. There may be events
that are similar but we can actually tell that he uses real places for his
story if experts will find a better evidence to make it believable.
What I learn after knowing the
story of Trojan War, I learned that be careful of the gift that the gods and
goddesses blessed you. Just like what happened to Paris, for the goddess
Aphrodite bears his desire he wasn’t able to think about the consequence of his
choice. A war commence because of a piece of apple. Other than that, I learned
how to control everything around me since I believe that small things can be
turned into something big. I learned how to be wise in decision making, to
think about the consequence first before deciding, to think about the people
surrounding me before taking up an action. Because we don’t know your decision
can cause a 10 year war, just like what happened to Paris.
The story of Trojan War, started
when Helen of Troy was abducted due to Judgement of Paris wherein he chooses to
be with the most beautiful woman in the world. Can a woman be the reason for
war to commence? That is a question that popped out in my mind when I found out
and read the story.
The story Trojan War taught us that “Big things started and comes
from small actions” and this quote can be the best quote to describe what
happened to the Trojan War. It may not be real yet it teaches us great values
and lessons that we could bring on as we grow old. Some of us comes to
realizations that even the goddess can’t be everyone’s favorite, and that opens
me the thought about coating myself with what the others want me to be can
still make people hate me, I come to realizations that I rather be myself that
to coat it with the others want to see. And I believe that this is the most
beautiful thing that this story had taught me. Other than that, I conclude that
war can never be an answer to conflicts.
