Friendships are a luxury we all come in contact with while we venture our current life. You may even develop such a strong friendship that you'd feel extremely sad about if it was destroyed. Through all the everyday events you've been through with this special person, do you think you would be able to take their life to protect something else that you may love more?
That was the decision Brutus had to make when dealing with Caesar and his new rise to power. This sword I am holding resembles the death of a good friend. Brutus and the conspirators took Caesar's life for Rome. Brutus felt as if Caesar's ambition was getting to the point where his new power was blocking his vision to see the mistakes he was making. Brutus made the most critical decision of his life, and went through with it, delivering the final blow to Caesar's body, which tarnished Caesar's love for Brutus.
Below is a picture of one of my good friends, Spike. This picture resembles friendship, which is something we both definitely shared. Sadly, Spike passed away the beginning of my freshmen year. It was heart breaking, especially since I haven't experienced a loss before that day. I couldn't imagine taking Spike's like away for anything. The reason for this explanation is because it shows how hard of a decision it was for Brutus to kill Caesar. In the end, we all go through hardships and have to make choices we think is best. Some things just end up happening. They may give us lessons to learn, or maybe nothing at all. In the end, all the decisions you make are yours personally, so weigh the consequences carefully.
