Mythological Conundrum


Humans live through their myths and only endure their realities.” - Robert Anton Wilson

I shall begin by saying that I hope my last post consisted mostly of the person L.B. being wrong about being wrong. I do need to believe there are more people like you...
And now, moving on to the first (and, to your great relief, final) item on today’s agenda – the enduring influence of myths on our lives in this sad, little, yet oddly fascinating century.
There is, however, a slight conundrum with which I am faced. I feel the sudden inexplicable urge to not be verbose and violently vivid in my pursuit of Veritas – ergo, I shall be brief.
Myths shape us both as individuals and as societies. They live within us and we persevere under their guiding light. Our myths play a pivotal role in our interpretations of this humble universe. Perhaps too much so...
The truth remains... I am disappointed that the world is not run by those who forge our greatest, most inspiring and most comforting visions.
