Neither Hero nor Journey
the decentering of human life from its cosmic significance, a decline in our sense of purpose, and a sensation of having lost the soul that gave earlier human societies their adaptiveness and vitality. It seems we are left with a feeling of having lost our place in the world along with a sense of who we are and what we ought to do with ourselves.
John Vervaeke, Christopher Mastropietro, • Awakening From the Meaning Crisis
the hero's journey sometimes gets formulated as "you must go into the unknown, & bring something back"
I think there's a second, overlooked way: "you must go into the unknown - & bring others with you."
some people never 'come back' - they discover somewhere new & stay there
