Myth? As writers we know this to well. Some myths are based on work of fiction some based on truth. Some stories are told so many times through our lives no one can tell if it's truth, myth, or fact.

As I glance through time and space I see this and ask the hardest question. Why do humans do inhumane things? We see so much wickedness in the world we are left with all the hard questions. As humans we are bound to be curious this goes back to first story ever told of Adam and Eve. The story changed it all. Something pure as the garden the darkness comes in to tempt Eve.

This goes everything against what the Garden was created for. Yet God still gave his creation freewill.

I can't imagine how hard it was. But these stories are past down from generation to generation though true many have called it somewhat a myth.

In the beginning every mythical story has some part of truth. Stories being told so many times it's like playing telephone in school with rumours. By the time it goes right back to you the rumour changes completely to something so much more.

Why do humans do inhumane things? This deep question becomes a myth no matter who decides to conjure it up. Because myth is no more then a story told so many times adding more detail or not enough.

We need to ask ourselves why these myths seem to always be conjured up. Zeus and Hera? Aphrodite and Ares? Inhumane People doing horrible things? It's like asking a villain why they are evil. The origin of evil dates back to the first sin. But Evil enabled it's way because we allowed it too.

With every story truth or not it turns into a myth eventually. Why not find out at Journey's end.
