Where we are Today

I think that comparing these myths from other parts of the country help us learn about how we thought we got here and makes us think about how other people from the world think we got here as well. The thing that every myth had in common about how we got here is that we were all created either from gods, god’s children or planted by a god. Men was created by something greater than man himself, I though that was very interesting because it made me feel like all the gods had some what of a power trip. The myths seemed like god created man because the gods were bored and wanted something to watch that he was greater than. It was like the earth was a puzzle and he created man to see if we could put the pieces together correctly. I noticed too that with the myths that I watched that women were created after the men either to be helpers or to keep the men company in this new world of earth that they were going to explore. I know that in a lot of religious views and even the myth about Adam and Eve, man was created first and then woman after. I think that that every myth has something in common with another, the way that the myths all have something in common reminds me of the game of telephone when one person starts off by saying a phrase and then by the time it gets to the last person in the circle it only has like one or two words that were in the beginning phrase. This is how all of our myths are just bits and pieces are taken from each one and then formed into their own. I think that it is really interesting that our myths or I think we would call it religion had some parts based on other peoples myths on how people were brought to this earth. I think that after I looked at all these myths, it helped me look more into how people look at how we were created and put on this earth and it gave me some reasoning why different people appreciate certain things about the earth and this world because of the myths the were brought up with. These myths also taught me about how I grew up thinking how men and women were created and I thought it was really interesting seeing how other people from different cultures and seeing how they think the world was created. It really shows that these myths determine how people value the things they do and worship certain gods that they do because of the myths they were taught about how they were created. It really opened my eyes and showed me that there are many ways that people believe how we were put here and who really knows which is the real way? I think it was really cool to learn about the myths and it really opened up my mind to se how other people think we were put on this earth.
