IDEAS TO CONSIDER CONCERNING THE TOPIC:
The gift/course
Helen’s beauty is powerful enough to “to launch a thousand ships” but is she free not to?
In other words, she is able, but is she willing?
What can she do with her power? What should she do?
And what does she do instead or then? How does she use it?
What decisions does she make? Why can she make them? Why can she not make them?
Another question could be: Is Helen free to decline the power given to her? And if so, how?
Should the answer be no, how can an object of reverence, desire, obsession ought to protect itself from being exploited? From losing its (her/his) freedom to say no?
And if she/he/it can’t say no, what can happen? What will happen? What might happen? What ought to happen?
