Mythology
Not only have philosophers wrangled with the question of human suffering over the years, so have the poets/artists. In order to better understand the question and to find more clues to the answers, we are exploring the poets and their work.
The word Mythology is an oxymoron of sorts. It is a left-brained study of a right-brained vocation. It literally means “the study or the science of story.”
Today we explore some of the stories and the genres from which they come. Some are from children’s literature; some are from fantasy television and movies; others are from Science Fiction writers.
Check out the links and join the conversation as we explore the poets’ look at suffering.
- Which of the illustrations worked for you or didn’t work for you? Why?
- What would life be for humans who did not have free will?
- How do we respond to God for giving us the challenge and the opportunity to live with our own choices?

I still can’t believe we didn’t use the Matrix!

It was really good. The illustrations were used very appropriately. It really made you think. Which is what usually happens! Good job.

This is probably why I don’t often comment. My comments get hung up “awaiting moderation.”
