The Cycle of becoming and ceasing was translated by Joseph Campbell as the journey of the hero in life: away from convention (escape from society) through hardship to wisdom (control of the (inner) demons) and back to reform convention (return to society to present findings).

Analogy discovered in the fundamental control-elements of the keyboard-to-virtual-desktop-interface. Context-sensitive modifier function ("ctrl" or "alt" (alternative)) is flanked by binary Yes/No decision ("return“ / „enter" and  "esc").
