The Latin epic poem Aeneid of Virgil has many themes. Love, religion, patriotism, and most of all, success. In the end, Aeneas won the battle against the Latins even though he had so many hardships and losses. He became victorious and built the foundations of Rome. He is a hero that saved his race and is the founder of the most glorious empire the world ever had.
Before Aeneas became victorious, he experienced so many hardships. He lost two wives, a plenty of good friends, his homeland, and his beloved father. Also, powerful goddess is always trying to kill him. But even if he had so many losses, he took it positively. He just thought that he have to win for his sacrifices not to go to waste. In the end, his sacrifices might became so proud of him for he just did things that helped shaped the future for the better.
We cannot taste sweet victory without sacrifices. Sacrifices are needed to win whether we like it or not. We have to give up something to achieve what we want. It is a part of life that we cannot remove. Sacrifices aren't made to make us suffer, but to tell us that even if we lose something, it is only natural and it is just okay because after all the pain that we experienced in sacrificing something, is the victory waiting at the end of the challenge.
