Myths: True or False, Alive or Dead?


An Image of a Phoenix, that I printed out and coloured a while ago!! 


So, some notes from when I was writing about digital media.  But this one is very important in considering our lives, especially when we are thinking of religions and a way to guide ourselves.  


''Myths are not true or false, but dead or alive.' (Mosco, V, p. 3: The Digital Sublime)

I think of this in terms of Hinduism.  Hinduism's myths are alive, we believe in Lord Rama's Qualities, we believe that Mother Sita's qualities can be embodied.  And it is those values that makes a man worthy of being called, 'Purshottam' (best among men) and Maa Sita, the embodiment of both strength and conviction. 


This one sentence by Mosco allows me to lead directly into many a class lessons!!
