"The Hero's Adventure"-JC-Response

A mixture of both agreement & disagreement towards Mr. Campbell’s statements it is believed that yes, the world seems dreadfully drained of spiritual-moral-values and in a way some people may feel distant or impotent, but only because much of the time that is what society leads you to believe. Honestly, how many people truly, 100% realize that one person CAN make a difference? That they, alone, can change so much? If anything, it’s not necessarily the impotence people feel, but more-so the lack of confidence they have within themselves. Without the belief that they can accomplish something great, on any level on that scale, does their own insecure outlook on themselves and what they can do with their lives bring them down. You are your own worst enemy. On the completely different side, some people appear to feel overly powerful and take advantage of it in a less-than positive manner. They normally wind up with an extraordinarily large head, and an ego to match. Is it bad that they have confidence in themselves and want to make a change in the world? No. But there is a balance that needs to be strived for and attained. People always take the extremes in life. You’re either on one side or the other. No happy medium; no in between. In the medieval or ancient times people were more on the confident side of the scale, they needed to be. Without having the confidence in knowing that you could and would fight for your country, family, and honor, you didn’t get too far in life. Nowadays, it’s more about how intelligent and compassionate you are versus how well you can physically fight. Yet, with a more secure hold of your emotions, opinions, and outlooks on yourself and your world, does your human side shine through. Whereas in the ancient times the majority of the people were more robotic, and didn’t let their true emotions come out in the fear of disgracing someone by their different thoughts or actions. Insecurities and confidence come on different levels for us all. Due to society are they adjusted a bit beyond the norm. For example: Hero Discussion. Hector is more of a modern-day hero, whereas Achilles represents the society in that time very well. Although one seemed to have more of a grasp on the future and how morals should be adjusted alongside the important things in life, the other knew what was happening in the now and went with the flow. It shows a good example of the evolution of man kind in a more mental way.
