The Great Escape

"Love is the one true gift given by the gods." -Helen of Troy


We all have one simple desire in this world, to love and be loved. It is definitely true that love is a blessing and as a Christian it is a gift from God. We have the freedom to express ourselves to others through love. It is in our human nature to love and be loved in return. Yet, most people do not even know what true love really is. I, for one believe that true love is for those who wait patiently and do not expect anything in return. 



In the movie "Helen of Troy", Paris and Helen had an undying love for each other. There was a scene in the movie where Paris insisted Helen to come with him to Troy. Paris wanted to defy all odds because he doesn't want his loved one to live a worthless life. True love stood strong in the end. It was truly remarkable because Paris gave everything he had for Helen, he would die for her all for the sake of love. I was motivated of what Paris did, he displayed an awe inspiring love for Helen, for a true man does not leave her woman behind.


We were given the question,"If you were Paris, would you ask Helen to come with you to Troy?" 


I thought to myself,"Is true love really worth fighting for?" Well, I would have to say yes, since I am also in love right now. If you truly love the person, you would do everything for that special someone. I would not let others mistreat her because she is far more beautiful than anything in this world. I cannot bear to leave my loved one behind. By all means, I will always be there for her and will never let her down. No matter how fatal the consequences may be, it will not matter to me, as long as I will get to be with her for the rest of my life.
