Holding onto anger is like grasping onto a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else: you are the one who gets burnt

Buddha (via miami-klass)

Being heroic is a phenomenon that surpasses collectivity, it has to do with personal overcoming of boundaries or obstacles, as well as the process of individuation. Self knowledge and the heroic element go hand in hand as it seems. Each trial or new feat demands a further expansion of the self. And who is more representative of this prototype than Hercules? Hercules is complex, multidimensional, his grandeur is shown early on but his ego doesn’t trap him, he doesn’t become self-conceited; he endures new tests and challenges no matter what, he accepts aids, he doesn’t stay fixed in what he already knows about himself, he evolves. Giant stone “Hand of Hercules” (part of a missing statue?), Amman, Jordan. What is less known about Hercules is that before he becomes a hero inside the Greek mythical lore he was known as a spirit who belonged to the family of the enigmatic demons called Dactyls (that means fingers).
