In the book “The Hero with a Thousand Faces” written by Joseph Cambell, the author thoughtfully writes “Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.”. This quote can have different meanings to different people but, to me this quote means your at your best when your facing your most difficult challenges.”.I say this because, in the beginning of the quote when Cambell says “deeper powers within ourselves” I concluded he meant your inner strengths and all your abilities at their maximum. Also in the last phrase of the quote, “... when life seems most challenging”, there're two possible meanings to this.

I however think the second meaning is more reasonable because, the word “seems” means assume or “think is” and the quote says “seems

But, I mean come on. The idea that there is this world, this city, drenched in darkness that’s watched over by an obsessive man in a bat costume? Amazing. Batman’s best stuff is usually when it’s being “gritty” and “dark” and stuff that is taken advantage of these days, but the genius of Batman lies in its fantasy elements.
