Reaction: The Judgement of Paris

A painting of Walter Crane

     The judgement of Paris was a selfish kind. It was like he was enveloped in greed. He had only thought of his self and his want. His decision was also mindlessly done. He did not think of the probability of a conflict between the three godesses and the chances of it to grow and affect many. 

        Paris wasn't the only one who became the reason of the beginning of the Trojan War, Aphrodite also had a part. She showed her desperation by bribing Paris to choose her in exchange of Helene to become his. The abduction of Helene led to the Trojan War which resulted to the fall of Troy and the defeat of the Trojans.

          Relating this to real life, the story teaches the importance of one to always be mindful and unselfish to others. It is not wrong to want something or someone but not travelling the right path to get it is.
