| The Judgement of Paris |
Some problems people encounter needs opinion or assurance of other people regarding on what is their concern. Same goes with this moment on where Athena, Hera and Aphrodite were in a quandary on whom is the fairest of them all. They seek for Paris' response regarding towards this matter. Paris chose Aphrodite for he was promised Helen of Troy if ever he would choose her side.
Paris should've never given his opinion about that matter. Sure, he got a jeweled prize but that action emanate into war. Aphrodite's "promise" was to kidnap Helen and offer it to Paris. As a husband, knowing your wife was kidnapped you would do everything in your power to retrieve her back even though that means sacrificing ones' life.
Aphrodite on the other hand, stayed on her end of the bargain. Fulfilling her promise to Paris was a wrong move. She is a goddess indeed but she was facing mortals. This also shows that she is using her position as a goddess to do what she wants even though that specific doing is bad.
In Conclusion, regarding this problem to the real world, you no longer need anyone's assurance to be called beautiful. We are made in our own ways. It's just up to the people knowing true beauty within you. Also, stay out of other people's problems so when time comes of counting fallen heads, no finger shall be pointed at you. Also, stop pleasing people because at the end, they wont be there for you.

| Kronos feasting over his spouses |
Terrified over what Gaia mentioned, Kronos devoured his children one by one fearing he would be overthrown one day. Actions like this one is a result of what you call fear. Violating your own blood and flesh whom is powerless over you just to keep your position is beyond wrong. Even though being the ruler of all is the most important title of all time back then. Kronos neglected the fact that he is eating his own. His fear of losing his throne won over his knowledge of being a father.
Come to think of it, cannibalism is an example of a very inhumane act before even until now. Though some cultures considered cannibalism as a suitable act, it is still very wrong. Even though we are just an evolved specie of the Kingdom Animalia, eating our own kind should be prohhibited. I mean, there are a whole lot of sources of food out there, there are fruits, fish etc.Sometimes people are so blinded over their possessions that they are willing to do anything to keep them. That is an example of a toxic mindset since the only thing permanent in this world is change.
In conclusion, everyone fears something in life.No matter how petty it may seem if it can send chills down your spine, then it is considered as a fear. Conquer your fear before it consumes you and thus, gives you limitations over your actions that could've been useful. Such as voicing on'es knowledge over matters and many more.

| Eve offers Adam the forbidden fruit |
After Eve bit the forbidden fruit, she then offered Adam and so he bit on it as well, a simple mistake that caused a massive aftermath. Even though God strictly forbids them not to touch the tree or go near it. The Garden of Eden based on the Bible is a very vast land yet they dwell in that area where God told both of them not to tread upon. After this incident they gain knowledge of life and lost access to the Garden, forever, This shows how another person can persuade you. Persuasion and Curiosity are two dangerous things no one should dwell in for they can cause you great harm and regret.
We people can differentiate what is right from wrong, unless your children. We have conscience. Conscience is that little voice in your head when you're planning on deciding towards something. Listening to this little voice of good deed can help you a lot. They say that our conscience are whispers of our deceased loved ones helping you out.
Adam was created by God himself, molding and bringing him to life. Eve on the other hand was merely a bone of Adam which makes Eve less pure per se. In the modern world they say that a woman's influence is so great that Eve was able to do that to one of God's holy creation. But to be fair, Adam himself has a part to play in this incident for he was not able to contain himself of eating the forbidden fruit and he has a total control of himself but he still succumbed to Eve.
In conclusion, as we grow up we ten to know what things are good and what things are bad. We can either do the good thing or do the bad thing, after all both these things have a result. Every decision you make has an impact to play in where you are going in life. And don't be too curious on things for curiosity surely kills the cat.

| Izanagi and Izanami's confrontation on the other side of the Island |
As the couple met at the other end of the island they had made spouses whom they were not pleased. One was a limbless and boneless creature and the other one was an island, which they later abandoned. They asked the Deities on why is their children not normal. The Deities answered it is because the man should have spoke first and not the woman. The couple did everything from the beginning and followed the deity's advice and their children were now normal.
This shows sexism in the story in which they have favored men over women. When Izanami spoke first they bear children with abnormalities. But when Izanagi spoke first, they bear normal children. This shows that men should initiate every action for they are more superior being leaving the women to walk behind them instead of beside them.
This action did not only happen before but its still currently going on now. Some people labeled women as weak and feeble, that men should always be on top. Gender labeling towards all matter is happening but it all changed decades back when a law was put to action on where if a man can do it so can woman. Jobs now are open to anyone. So no more gender labeling is going to happen. . Although the gender labeling stopped but this issue still goes on. The comparison between the two genders as well.
In the end, it doesn't matter if a man should initiate or if a woman should. The only thing that matters is that we should treat everyone equal because we need to be living together and not against each other.
