Romance In The Hero's Journey

[alyra]

why is it that in the hero's journey the hero gets the girl? is it because we don't have to go it alone in the end - internally we may face it alone but when we look around us there's somewhere there supporting us as best they can? perhaps romance is one way but if there's romance, than there are others too. there could be a whole community there to have our back. we don't face the journey alone - we just have to face the trials alone. but of course, "I" is nought but perspective. the firm is "I" the family is "I" the community is "I"... etc. we learn first to negotiate with ourselves in the journey,  internally - we must learn how to face it alone. then we look externally to find that we are not alone at all!
