moral journey
Soul's transformative path
A moral journey is the inner transformation a person undergoes through experience, struggle, or self-examination—moving from one ethical state to another.
The phrase appears frequently in discussions of literature and film, where characters evolve morally through the story's events: The novel traces his moral journey from selfishness to compassion.
Unlike a physical journey, the destination is character rather than place.
