#4.1: Everything happens for a reason.

Imagine that you are on your way home and you realized that your hometown was crushed into a million pieces or you found out that it was destroyed, what would you feel? What a nice surprise! take note of the sarcasm. Maybe some would go crazy and be depressed seeing that their hometown was destroyed. I do believe that all of us would feel the same way, but make Aeneas as an exception.

In the case of Aeneas, he just suffered a great lost. To lose your own hometown or your mother land is very tragic and depressing. Some needs comfort for them to ease the pain, but Aeneas himself kept his own pain and learn to be brave to let go of the past. In my opinion, I believe that his decision was correct. He find his way out to forget the past. Yes, it's hard to accept the fact that you lose your hometown, but that was just the first case. At first, we would cry and be depressed, that's alright because crying is one way of letting your feelings be expressed. But sooner or later, we must be brave enough, like Aeneas, to accept everything. Do you think he would found Rome if he just sat around the corner crying? of course not. Everything happens for a reason. His decision of accepting the past is very great because if he didn't let go of the past, he would not found Rome.

Even with the knowledge that Aeneas had a better future than his sad past, it doesn't mean he had easily let go of his tragic past. He loved his hometown, Troy. But little by little, these memories would be just a part of his past, and whether it is good or not, we must thank God for having it since it is one way of making our lives change for the better.
