Journey

you today, in spirit, hoping you enjoy this essay. On November 22, 1997, in Little Rock, Arkansas, God allowed me to enter this physical world from His spiritual realm. Wasn’t that a journey unto itself? Many scholars and applicants, if I’m not mistaken, will write about a physical journey or a preconceived journey that may or may not ever happen. I chose to write about something candid and raw. I chose to write about something that I, 50 years from now, may not remember every waking detail of,…

Siddhartha has been searching for fulfillment all his life. Though he was the most scholarly and respected Brahmin, this did not satisfy him. He drank knowledge, yet still felt ignorant. He could not find peace and desired fulfillment. His journey is essentially one of trial, error, suffering, mistakes, and rebirth. In this essay I will demonstrate how Siddhartha’s story both legitimates and challenges Indian religious authority, by giving examples both from Buddhism and Hinduism. Siddhartha…

steadily closer to the light, an understanding overcame them both: this is Nirvana--the end of the line. A sharp pang of sorrow hits, and, with a heavy heart, the cloaked figure walks on. This is Journey. This is a video game.…

The difference between the journeys of a free settler, convict and a slave are terribly different.

But apart from all the differences, there were some similarities between the three, and this essay will feature that too. To start off, let’s talk about the slave’s journey. The Europeans went all the way to Africa to get a whole bunch of African…

Throughout this journey, I have been faced with many questions, and doubts. But that is what makes an expedition memorable. The most prominent question I…

Basically, it explained the common Hero's journey archetype which takes place in many stories. Essentially, the hero in a story is the archetypal predecessor of all humankind in general. The modern day hero is a culmination our ancestors' experiences over many generations. All societies have similar hero stories not because they coincidentally decided to…
