As was Renee Good. They were felled trying to do the heroic thing, transforming the world into a safer place for the innocent, and risked the greatest sacrifice in doing so. My hero's-journey thesis is that we are all called to be heroes when we reach adulthood which is why the journey is the theme of myth and literature since storytelling begin. The reason we have to be encouraged by stories is because not everyone answers that call and those that do risk sacrifice. But those that don't face an endless twilight of childhood, enslaved to their own appetites and never feeling safe despite their continuous demands for more wealth, power, and weaponry.
