Love Alone

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. There comes the time for us to meet someone who’ll be for us. That person gives us the power and the genuine affection inside. But to lose that someone is not a usual thing.

Recognizing and distinguishing the story behind Aeneid and Illiad, the two wives showed how they sincerely love their husbands. Creusa begs Aeneas not to leave the city, but else to stay with her and their son, Ascanius. On the other hand, Andromache begs Hector not to leave the city and ceased him from fighting against the enemies. But, no matter how these wives hindered them, they left their families and went on a journey to travel for the sake of winning against the battle while knowing the chance of seeing them no more.

Evidently, love shows to be true among them. They had proved their eternal love that they really do not want to sacrifice their husband’s lives. Apparently, to lose someone would be their greatest weakness. Probably, it’s the main cause that they want their husbands to follow their pleading. Analyzing, Creusa and Andromache were able to have the strength to go and left their family since they knew how they were deeply loved by their wives. Conversely, they were able to have the courage to fight and do what they are destined to do, since they knew how they love their wives as deep as they could love them.

This only proves how love could be your greatest strength and your greatest weakness. To love someone else more than yourself shows how you were thrown off by love into another level. That person whom you are willing to do everything is the person you never wanted to lose and would be your only shoulder to lean on.

Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfil them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in them.
