The Truth of Myth

Myth, as viewed by those who believe in it, is a real story; but its reality is not historical so that it can be established by historical evidence; nor is it a reality which can be established through rational arguments. It is the story of realities caused by gods at the beginning of the world; and it is from this point that the myth obtains its reality. In addition, it differs from false stories, in which there is no god, and no mention of the momentous and big events like those of the beginning of time. The awe-inspiring nature of the true story or myth is the other side of its coin of truth. That is why the people who believe in myth don’t speak of it everywhere. However, unless the myth is examined in context, it will turn into a worldly and false story.
