A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

Myth
The shaping of deeply felt values into meaningful, apposite form, is present in all communities, and will find some means of expressions among all.

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest -- but the myth -- persistent, persuasive and unrealistic

MYTHOLOGY, n. The body of a primitive people's beliefs concerning its origin, early history, heroes, deities and so forth, as distinguished from the true accounts which it invents later.
