“The dark night of the soul comes just before revelation”
— Joseph Campbell
Simplified Meaning:
When things get very tough and you feel really low, it often means that you are about to learn something important or find a new understanding. Imagine a student feeling completely stressed before a big exam. They might feel hopeless, but once they push through and take the test, they often discover they know more than they thought, or they learn from the experience. Similarly, when someone is going through a difficult time, it can be a sign that growth or better times are on the horizon. In real life, hitting rock bottom might lead a person to realize what truly matters to them or to make needed changes. So, during hard times, remember that these challenges could be leading you to a better place or helping you discover something important about yourself.
