"Seeing Your Mother Land Slowly Fading Like Ashes"

What would you feel if you see your mother land falling into pieces and fading into ashes? Maybe you'll be ashamed and blame yourself because you're not able to help or do anything just to save your home. You can't do anything except for starring it while it's turning into small particles like ashes. You're countrymen, you're treasure land, cultures, tradition and even history will just turn into ashes.

I really feel sympathy while Aeneas is telling the story about the fall of Troy. But at the same time I feel angry for their stupidity.  They trust someone whom they met for the first time. Don't you think it's a kind of stupidity? But the sympathy is still there. If they not trust Sinon about that wooden horse, maybe his mother land is not destroy. There are times that we should not be a kind-hearted person. We should criticize someone first before we give are reliance to them.

Though I haven't been in the same situation as Aeneas, I can still feel all the suffering, sorrows, agony and throbbing he had gained. I felt sympathy while I read that part because I can visualize the real happenings going on. Seeing your cherished and precious land while it's fading is like killing yourself slowly and slowly.
