'The great doors are invested with the same power ...'
- Pg 312, Phantom, by Terry Goodkind
Whenever I think of great doors, I think of the pearly gates. Its a amazingly clear visual of fluffy white clouds, big shiny white and gold gates, standing open, with lots of light behind it. A visual made possible by so many movies and other entertainment media. Irrespective of religion, the pearly gates visual stands strong.
The imagery immediately makes me wonder about this innate belief I have that open doors lead to good things, while closed doors are forbidding places. There are, after all, both the unknown. It seems its not so much the fear of the unknown as it is the fear of the dark. Or maybe they just feed off each other. All I know is that in today's world of mistrust, those may be the only doors that we are likely to find open at all!
