The knight was trapped in his armor because, after years without taking it off, it had rusted.
Finally, he tried to take it off, but he didn’t know how. Have you ever felt suffocated by a situation, where even if you try to escape it, you get caught? Have you felt that you’ve lost yourself over time and don’t know how to be who you were before? Or even, have you forgotten who you were before?
Through a metaphorical story, Robert Fisher shows us the conflict many of us experience in our lives. Sometimes, we cling to negative stimuli that have distanced us from the important things in life, or we focus on them, forgetting our essence.
There are moments when we can feel completely alone and lost, but Fisher shows us that with the help of others, we can find our way inward. The healing process is neither quick nor easy because we may face dragons or enter the Castle of Silence, where we are overwhelmed by loneliness. Perhaps we find ourselves talking to a voice claiming to be our inner self, or we are on the verge of losing our sanity because the path to happiness has many barriers. However, we must confront those fears and allow ourselves to be guided by those who know the way.
We must allow ourselves to heal and be happy.
