Joseph Campbell Passage

This passage to me is about finding yourself. It says that "we have not even to risk the adventure alone for the heroes of all time have gone before us.". To me this means that no one is ever alone in their quest, that people have struggled through the same things that we go through. I get from this passage, that as we go about our journey we find pleasure or true calling in places we would not have thought to find it. It says that "And where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves.". This means that when your aim is to take someone down or to question their beliefs, you are actually taking down yourself. The last section of the passage I think is about stepping out of your comfort zone and doing what is right. Others will follow the path that you have made if it is the right one. It talks about travelling into the outer world, and when you travel into the outer world you actually come back to center where you find your true calling.
