What you aren't understanding here is that because we are human, it's ALL MYTH. What you and I call and believe to be "reality" is an intellectual construct within our own minds; created there by our very limited and unique experience of existence, through our very limited and individual intellectual capability. The "truth" is not within our reach. It is a mythical "Holy Grail" that we don't even know actually exists. All we have is a presumption of truth based on very incomplete information, limited experience, and a minimal capacity for understanding. Once we grasp and accept this fundamental aspect of the human condition, we will see that it is a delusion for us to presume that we can ever "know the truth" of things. And that the best we can do, instead, is try and understand how things function well enough to survive and thrive, and beyond that, that it's OK for us to speculate about and act on the various theories that we develop about our existential value and purpose as human beings.In my mind, the question is which is preferable: a comforting myth or an uncomfortable truth?
