There are, as demonstrated, a plethora of stories, symbols, metaphors, myths, characters and morals throughout human history that have survived the test of time and the reason for this is because they are deeply true. Maybe not literally, but symbolically. They resonate and they entice our human nature. These stories are archetypal. They captivate us because they are innately human stories. Thus we should take them seriously, for they are significant. They tell us who we are and how to move forward. They persuade us to live accordingly with them. They command that we leave similar stories for thefuture, because the history of humanity rests on these stories so to ignore their significance, to live a life in opposition to them is to deny your humanity and make the future worse.
