  Sad Love - Romance and the...

  As a woman with a husband and other partners, philosopher Carrie Jenkins knows that love is complicated. 
   
   
   
  Love is most often associated with happiness, satisfaction, and pleasure. But it has a darker side we ignore at our peril. Love is often an uncomfortable and difficult feeling. The people we love can let us down badly. And the ways we love are often quite different to the romantic ideals society foists upon us. Since we are inevitably disappointed by love, wouldn't we be better off without it? 
   
   
   
  No, says Carrie Jenkins. Instead, we need a new philosophy of love, one that recognizes that the pain and suffering love causes are a natural, even a good part of what makes love worthwhile. What Jenkins calls "sad love" offers no bogus "happy ever afters". Rather, it tries to find a way properly to integrate heartbreak and disappointment into the lived experience of love. 
   
   
   
  It's time we liberated love.

  The Aeneid - Virgil's Mythic...

  The Aeneid stands as one of the most influential literary works of the ancient world, a masterpiece that shaped Rome’s cultural and political identity. Written by the poet Virgil between 29 and 19 BCE, this epic tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero destined to lay the foundations for what would become Rome. Blending myth, history, and divine intervention, Virgil crafted a narrative that not only honored Rome’s past but also justified its imperial destiny. Commissioned during the reign of Augustus, The Aeneid served as both a patriotic epic and a moral guide, emphasizing duty, sacrifice, and perseverance.  
    
  At its core, The Aeneid explores Rome’s divine origins through the trials and triumphs of Aeneas. His journey mirrors the struggles of Rome itself—facing adversity, enduring loss, and ultimately fulfilling a grand destiny. Unlike Homer’s heroes, Aeneas is driven by pietas, a sense of duty to the gods, his people, and his future nation. This concept of duty over personal desire defines him, setting him apart from figures like Achilles, who is ruled by rage, or Odysseus, who relies on cunning. Through Aeneas, Virgil presents an ideal Roman leader—one who sacrifices personal happiness for the greater good.  
    
  The themes of fate and duty play a central role in The Aeneid, reinforcing the idea that Rome’s supremacy was preordained by the gods. From the moment Aeneas flees Troy, his path is guided by prophecy. Though he faces obstacles—such as the wrath of Juno, the temptations of love, and the horrors of war—his unwavering commitment to his destiny ensures that he prevails. Virgil uses this theme to legitimize Augustus’ rule, portraying Rome’s rise as part of a divine plan rather than mere political ambition.
