I use the pre-workout Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Of all the pre-workouts out there I find it funny I stuck with the one about a guy turning into a monster. But monsters are like heroes, they are both on the road to transforming themselves. In a sense, the hero is learning to become the monster.
A domesticated mouse cannot defeat an unruly snake. If a mouse wishes to fight predators he has to learn to grow bigger fangs. The only way Peter Parker can defeat other monsters is by becoming a giant spider who doesn’t eat people. Good thing Spiderman doesn’t have a taste for human blood because New York would be a different place.
To fight evil, you must know what evil is capable of. The hero on his journey is tearing down naive thinking that no one wants to hurt him. He discovers that there is evil wishing the worst for him, but he develops the paradigm that the world is still good. That there is evil so he can become stronger to defeat it.
I want to grow fangs and wings so I can help others. A tame man who is taught to be soft and polite will only be fodder for the monsters who will take advantage of his harmless thinking.
To be a hero he must be capable of aggression.
