Selina, always a deep thinker, you are! Myths are certainly powerful things. As a woman of God and follower of Christ, I do have a different view but I also see the profound differences between male and female. We all are in desperate need for the transforming love of our Creator. No human method can ever fill the gap in our souls. I walked through my own plunder of youth and rebellion. It does seem that the only way out is through and I have certainly been "through it", as I know you have as well, Selina. We keep on our roads, keep seeking, keep digging, keep asking for divine help to keep our life on track and to help the chaos of this world. One step, one hour, one day, moving up and out of the valley of the shadow. WEW
I probably should have been clearer! My meaning wasn't about this particular myth but about that we told stories long before we wrote them down and that was true no matter when things were written.
An extremely interesting essay. More thought-provoking than most I have read recently. I am going to need some time to ponder it, re-read it and come back to it a few times. Selina is on to something very powerful here.

"No human method can ever fill the gap in our souls."
So true!
Great article. The written history thing may be off. The old testament was written way before the Pandora story appeared about 700-800 BC.
More importantly is that it makes me thing. Thanks.

It makes me Think. Not a thing:)
