Apple of Discord
Apple of Discord The phrase originated from Greek mythology. The golden apple inscribed "for the fairest” tossed by Eris, goddess of discord, in the midst of the festivities at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, a banquet she was not invited to. The apple was claimed by Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Its award by Paris to Aphrodite caused events that led to the Trojan War. Thus, "apple of discord" is used to signify the core, kernel, or crux of an argument, or a small matter that could lead to a bigger dispute. For 2021, lets’s do better than the “Apple of Discord”. We should learn to avoid foolish disputes and controversies and live in unity. We should avoid trivial discussions that are not worthwhile. Our time is valuable – we shouldn’t waste it on worthless things! Year 2021 is a new beginning. Titus 3:9 9 But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. Available in the following yarn b
