I was
pondering the relevance
of the Ancient
Gods and
Goddesses of
myth on my
drive into
work this morning.
And how
those ancient beliefs
fall in line
with the contradictions
within the
human condition.
Zeus at
least, was
presented as
a morally
corrupt and
contrasting
figure of an
all powerful
deity. He
was flawed, thus
excusing man’s
flaws.
God though,
the Christian,
Jewish God,
is infallible.
A perfect
being without
error,
directing the compass
of destiny
through just means.
Disease,
viruses, sickness,
famine,
plague, war, etc.,
all created
through God’s
creation. Yet it’s all part of
a plan. A
plan based around
a predeterminate
free-will.
I propound
the antique belief in
the Ancient panoply
of Gods
is akin to
believing in some level
of modern
moral turpitude.
A paradox.
God is good.
God makes
man.
Man makes
sin.
Man destroys
God.
God destroys
man.
Is God good?
Is Man good?
Is believing
in a Minitour or
Centaur any
different than
believing a
vaccine is unsafe
or that
there’s some sort of microchip
in their
designed to… I don’t even know,
Is there any
difference?
Are human
beings so easily
taunted by
myth we’re not
capable of
seeing through it,
seeing them
as just stories,
and we just
writhe in the agony
of
misinformation and arrogant
contradiction?
I should
just focus on my
drive into
work.
I don’t want
to miss my exit
and there’s
a lot of stuff to
do on my
desk.
This is not
a Labyrinth.
But I fear
the beast in the middle.
