If I were Helen I would not go with Paris to Troy because I know Agamemnon and Menelaus. Imagine leaving before our wedding day for sure that they will really look for me. I'm matured enough to decide on my own and for the best of everyone. I know that my beauty is irresistible and because of this face I have, siblings fight with each other, kingdoms fought with kingdoms and men loves me. I'm not that ignorant that letting others suffers and die for our love. Love is a gift from God, sometimes we undergo trials for us to deeper our love to each other. I don't want to see others fight and die because of me. If I and Paris were really meant to be then there is a way that we two would have a chance to express our love with each other. A chance to love one another without limit and destruction. The right time that was given to us by God. Besides true love knows how to wait, knows the right time and know the right person that God has set. A person whom I was free to love without people being hurt and die because of our love to each other. Not going with Paris to Troy doesn't mean that I don't love him. It is just that our love wouldn't be possible because me and Menelaus are expected o get married the day when Paris left. Love is all about sacrificing. Sacrificing our love with each other is a better choice than pursuing our love with each other yet seeing Trojans dying because of our love. Love will make its own way when the two of you are really meant to be. Even though I'm a daughter of Zeus I'm not numb and selfish. We can't get anything we want. Not every situation is under our control, sometimes it depends on the action we done that let us fall. Yes, I love Paris. Some may suggest fighting for your love but in situation like this?? Fighting for our love to each other will not always end in happily ever after. If Paris really loves me then he would go and leave me. To know that he is safe and sound is better than the two of us are together but seeing him fighting because of our love that could cause his death. Love has its best time and place maybe this time is not yet for us. I know that we will soon meet each other again and in that time our love for each other is accepted not only by King Priam and Trojans but also by Menelaus, Agamemnon, Cassandra and the Spartans. I know and so excited that these day will come. Even we are far from each other my love will always be the same. See you at the right time Paris.
good post.
