Why Weep to the Past?

Everybody has a bad past that some wants to forgets or some treasures. And should I sympathize with that certain past they have? With the case of Aeneas, he just suffered a great lost. To lose your own mother land is quite tragic and depressing. Some people see comfort to those who helps them ease the pain of the past. For me, I see to it that I should sympathize to anyone feeling down because if I don’t, I would look like someone who is insensitive. I myself have experienced feeling down and having a heavy burden that I bear. It somehow felt lighter whenever someone would sympathize with me. And so the past is irrevocable and there’s nothing more to do but to face the fruit and yield of our actions, we carry heavy emotion with us and so with sympathizing it somehow lessen the heaviness. It feels that you’re not alone and it feels like you’re with someone in the battle.

Even with the knowledge that Aeneas would have a future far greater than his sad past doesn't mean he would have easily let go of hid tragic past. It’s reassuring to give sympathy to him, it’s like we helps even by little to lessen the pain. Little by little, the past would let us go and be just a memory.
