Imagine yourself in the middle of war, how does it feel? Scared? Of course! everybody is scared to face death! it is hard for a warrior to give his 100% courage during a war he does not own. But, if you belong to a group A war of one will also be the war of all. A quote said that "A coward turns away, but a brave man's choice is danger." That's why Patroclos inspired me with his courage and actions.
Patroclos seeing the Achaians lose to the wrath of the trojans.

-Achilles! the Achians are falling. They need your help!
Get your armor and give your back-up.

| Achilles |
No! After all what agamemnon did to me? you'll ask : me to fight?
-You Fool! Give me your armor and I'll be the one to fight.
Ok! Help the Achaians push the trojans back to the scaian gates
: and return home safely!
following Achilles instruction, Patroclos managed to push the trojans back to the gates. But, patroclos did'nt follow one simple instruction! To go home safely. After pushing the trojans back, He still continues in fighting with his flaming angry heart full of courage. Apollo sees patroclos is dominating so, Apollo removed patroclos armor which made Euphrobos an oppurtunity in stabbing Patroclos and Hector got Achilles' Armor. The courage of Patroclos contributed to the victory of the achaians.
We humans, lack this thing called "initiative" which is a very important key to success. In the story the Iliad you can see that Patroclos initiate an action approaching achilles, and when achilles rejected he took a step forward and started doing it. why am i saying this? It is because we often forget that all mistake done has a solution! Once we commit a mistake we stop without seeking for the end. I think people do this because they just go with the flow and enjoy what should not be enjoyed. "Success is a journey, not a destination."
