Myth

Myth is defined as traditional stories about the exploits of immortal beings.. And such stories collectively is called mythology.  Since the beginning of time our ancestors passed stories and myths to the new generation through orally, and later through literature. All the world religions have morally good myths and stories in their scripture to install morality into their respective societies. As a kid i remember when my mom use to tell stories of different kinds to put me into sleep, i always wanted to hear a bedtime story before i go to sleep. And one of my favorite one is the David vs Goliath, a story from the bible. For me David was a small dude who was able to take on a big bad guy. After she is done with the story i will pretend that i was asleep, and when all the lights are turned off in the house, i will secretly take out my flash light to find a piece of cloth and plastic cricket bat (cricket-a popular sport played in commonwealth countries). I will wear that piece of cloth around my neck like a superman and wave the bat as if its my sword, and i picture myself as David fighting my imaginary foe Goliath. why do we love myth? is it because it gives us a sense of invisibility. we get attracted to mythological characters for their bravery, for what they are able to accomplish, because they have something we desire. They break narrow confines of most men's reality.
