High Power - There is no high power in buddhism because they dont believe in a god, but they believe in things that the Buddha teaches or studys . Those things are called the  , Dharma and Sangha.Since Budda was a teacher Dharma was the things he taught were called Dharma. The Sangha being the students that the Buddha taught who are mostly monks , nuns that dedicated all there energy of there life’s to conserve the teaching and available to use in the future.

Rules and goals-

Worship  And ritual-

Spirit And  After Life -the Buddhism would believe that  the spirits mean when  a person will die and become ghost. Then the afterlife would mean that a person  would die and it will depend on there lifestyle that whether they will  come back to life as a good animal or a bad animal for example if you had a bad lifestyle you will come out to  be a rat or if your lifestyle was good probably turn out to  be a beautiful bird or something.

Religious Hierarchy - Buddhism doesn’t really have  a caste system  or a class system unlike Hinduism . They have these kind of people that people follow or try to be like. They don’t have a organize group of people like a type of government. They are important figures in Buddhism and they are the Monks , for men , and for women called Nuns and then of course the Buddha . 

She was the goddess of women and marriage and I'm pretty sure the so called intelligent greeks at that time wanted to portray her as an evil figure, just so they could also point out that women were selfish and stuff. Like I'm just saying that the majority of the man kind had been the leaders of domestic lives and this whole goddess of marriage and women being an evil bitch was a good excuse for men to use in some situations-I guess? I mean obviously there were males who weren't like that but everyone knows that ancient times were already fucked up.

I wanted to write down my view of Zeus and Hera's marriage

Ok so I HATE that in modern movies or books hera is literally nothing but a bitch.

Like yeah she's cruel because her husband turned he that way , he cheats on her every chance he gets even though he says how much he loves her... like his version of love is so twisted it's weird that he doesn't straight up leave hera if he is so unhappy.

Then again, from othe fan stories I read people write zeus as a man that simply wants his wife's love and attention

And the only way to get that is to make her jealous! Her insane jealously proves to Zeus that hera still loves him very dearly.

But then again he still cheats after they stop fighting , eyes tend to wonder.

I feel like zeus is aware of what a terrible person he is but he is the mindset that because he is King and supreme ruler of the heavens that he can do whatever he wants and he expected hera to be an obedient little wife.

Which she isn't at all , she didn't even want to marry him the first place.

She was trapped into it and eventually ended up falling for him.

She is an equally powerful and outspoken women that turned sour from her husband and his bastard children.

Hera isn't a saint , a lot of us wish she didn't take her fury out on the children or the women that weren't willing but her anger always gets the better of her.

Besides there was MANY women that were willing to be with zeus and join him in his bed.

Nymphs , minor goddesses and mortals alike who were willing I say deserve the queens anger.

Those that knew zeus was married but spread their legs anyway I can't really have much sympathy for.

The ones that were forced to do such things weren't as deserving.

Anyways this rant is going on.

The king and queen of the gods marriage is a mystery on it's own.

And UGH I swear I hate that hera can't leave Zeus and be free because she's a goddess of marriage.

That just annoys me so much.

Can someone like..write a damn good story of hera being happy? I would love that.

Gods help me i'm crying😭

Remember those walls I built, well baby they’re tumbling down. And they didn’t even put up a fight, they didn’t even make a sound

Reyna thinking about how she’s been able to let Jason, and how easy it felt in comparison to others

I found a way to let you win,  But I never really had a doubt, Standing in the light of your halo, I got my angel now

Honestly, Reyna’s had it tough. She had to kill her own father, OKAY. It probably feels like Jason is this…standard of perfection. She probably thought so at one point, then she gets to know him and his flaws and insecurities. Jason still being Reyna’s light REALLY makes me happy

Every rule I had you breaking, It’s the risk that I’m taking, I ain’t never gonna shut you out

YALL!!! Reyna letting herself fall for Jason despite EVERYTHING. This hurts even more when you think about how he forgets about her in HoO. Like, she broke all her rules for him…and YET

Everywhere I’m looking now, I’m surrounded by your embrace, Baby, I can see your halo, You know you’re my saving grace

Do I even need to explain the pun?

You’re everything I need and more, It’s written all over your face, Baby I can feel your halo, Pray it won’t fade away

Jason is (or should be written as) this idealistic kid who just wants to do good for New Rome. Middle School!Reyna just looks at this kid who still has his rose-colored glasses on and shakes her head. Reyna wanting Jason not to lose that tho, is just *chef’s kiss*

Hey, what do you think about Medea? I know people portray her as a cruel witch but I think she never had someone besides her than her aunt; Circe. She really deserved to be happy, right?

This is the story of the wicked villain’s daughter who whispers in the hero’s ear and teaches him how to overcome every trial. Through her magic she transmutes the most insurmountable labor into triviality, she foils the villain’s pursuit so that her father cannot catch them in their flight.

(she chops her brother into pieces and casts the pieces to the sea, so that her father’s fleet must be hindered dredging up every bloody portion so that their king might bury his son)

She is wise, and she is good, and she is wonderful, filled with wonders, and the story never thinks to ask:

Why, with all her knowledge and her power, in all the years before the hero came, did she do nothing to curb her father’s wickedness?

---

When Medea excoriates Jason for his betrayal, he snaps back in retort:

“You exaggerate your favors,” he sneers. “Should I thank you? Did you act purposefully? Or was it not the shafts of Eros, as Aphrodite willed, that compelled you to save my life?”  

---

Medea loves her children dearly, and she kills them, and in that she is beyond compulsion.

---

We might ask instead what purpose Jason served in the story, if Medea and the Argonauts accomplished all his feats for him. Did Jason on his own slaughter the six-armed Gegenees? Did he know how to withstand the fiery breath of the Kolkhis Bulls? Did he know the dangers of sowing the dragon’s teeth, how to lull the sleepless dragon into sleep?

Could he have outplayed the sirens, killed the bronze man Talos on his own initiative?

What was the point of him, then?

(the answer is: it was his story)

---

When Medea returns to her home of Colchis many years later, after all the unpleasantness with Jason is well and done, she discovers her tyrannical father has been overthrown by his brother Perses, the new king.

Unfortunately for her, this is no happy ending. Perses hopes to purge her father’s bloodline and eliminate all other claimants to the throne.

So, she kills him.

(she is good at that, killing family)

It was said that when the Golden Fleece was removed from Colchis, so too would the king be removed from his throne. Medea returns, years later, and kills her uncle and restores her father to the throne, and the old wrong is finally set right.

.

The dead are all still dead, of course.

---

After Medea kills her brother, the gods demand she must be cleansed.

The Argo sails through storm and hellish steam and darkness, and finally docks at Circe’s island. Circe slits the throat of a piglet, stains their hands with its blood. The hearth fires blaze bright, and many cakes are brought out to be burnt as offerings to Zeus.

“There,” Circe says afterwards. “All done.”

Medea sits next to her on the polished chairs, looking at the thin dark line of pig’s blood still beneath her fingernails. “I don’t know that I can ever be cleansed of this.”

Her aunt smirks. “Too bad,” she says. “Ceremony’s over. You are.”

“I just -” she says, and looks towards the Argo where Jason is waiting, and feels her throat close up with emotion. “I feel like I’m going insane. I don’t know what I’ve done. I feel like I would do anything for him.” 

“The only morality in the world is love,” Circe says. “Everything else is mere ambition. Falling headlong into someone else’s story, and selfishly living out your own.”

“I helped kill him,” Medea says. “I killed my brother.”

“He was hunting you down. They would have killed you both, if they caught you.” Circe looks meditatively into the fire. “The gods have done worse, for worse reasons. Zeus, the Cleanser of Sins, once tried to devour his own daughter.”

They are silent for a time. The fire crackles cozily, and the burnt fragrance of cake hangs in the air. “I don’t deserve any of this,” Medea says.

“Ah, that’s the cruelty of it.” Circe sighs. “You are part mortal and part divine, a truth unto yourself, consequence unmoored from judgement.” She lays a hand over Medea’s. “You don’t deserve a damn thing.”

---

When Medea kills her children, she weeps.

(but she has wept before, and gone on to do more wickedness, and so tears are neither salve nor salvation)

After her children are dead, Helios sends down a golden chariot from the heavens to carry her away, to carry away with her the bodies of her children, so that she might bury them with her own two hands in Hera’s sacred grove, safe from any further indignity or harm.

(as a sign from the gods, this might be taken as approval)

---

This is how Medea’s story goes: Time passes and wounds slowly heal. She falls in love again, and has another child. She falls into old habits and once again tries to kill her lover’s son, but this time is unsuccessful. She is forced to flee, and at last returns to her father’s kingdom. She kills her uncle. More kinblood is shed.

Her son Medus grows up to take the throne, and he is so renowned in conquest that the Aryans rename themselves the Medes, in his and his mother’s name.

He is her darling son. She loves him dearly.  

.

This is a happy ending, perhaps.
