Myths

I find myths to be extremely interesting. Listening to two men talk about it for an hour and a half, not so interesting. Everything the two said was very insightful and true but I simply cannot engage into a film that's an interview or Q & A with monotone voices. It was pure torture especially since I like myths. The one thing that I found truly interesting was how we shouldn't merely read myths but we should experience them. That is truly powerful as anyone can read something but if you put yourself in the hero's position and imagine that's you in the same situation, suddenly everything becomes alive and it's a lot more interesting. Reading something is looking at words and not retaining them. Putting yourself inside the myth is engaging in another world and that's absolutely fascinating.
