Great post, very sublime topic, and one very important to be reminded of, that it is through facing our own fears, we are able to grow.
The quest for the holy grail, has each of the knights enter the forest at the darkest spot as it appears to each of them individually. That is where the heros quest for the Holy Grail begins, by stepping into that which symbolises the unknown the most for you. And as in the story each knight enters the forest at a different spot, since for each of them what appears as the most scary and darkest spot to enter is different than to the next :)
Welcome to steemit mate, great to have you here ;)
Thank you for the welcome,
I like your anecdote makes sense, is easy to understand and relate too. I remember going on these quests especially as a kid, back then it was somehow easier to enter these dark spots and overcome them...
Interesting how we develop and condition ourselves over time.
