When Does Myth Becomes Truth?
"Are ghosts real?"
"MYTH!"
"Oh, then fairies? What about them? They might be real."
"NO! MYTH."
Myths or Superstitions are just like black magic, we all, since our tender childhood have been believing onto. And, that too so vehmently that, in today's era also if you question a person about ghosts, they'll retort; "they aren't real", and added to it would be the pepped up line, "bhoot pisaach nikat nahi aave.." Well, I ain't an atheist, but; I ain't a believer of superstitions too. The more lucidly we think, the more real it gets.
Well, then you might muse; "Do we cease thinking? Or do we abandon our roots?"
"Neither!" I'd retort.
You see, when myths are multiplied on and on, they try to convince us and blur out the reality, that's what we often tend to ignore. And, that transmission from being merely a 'Myth', then adding to it frequent nods and approvals; transmutes it to being a 'Reality'. A reality that may not be versed in books, a reality that everyone may not be aware of; but, they sooner will be, as one keeps preaching the myth. It becomes a 'mantra' of their life then, and there's no Escapism! That's when you realize a myth becoming a truth. But, it's just like a fleeting bird; you can't hold onto its wings.
Transferred on and on generations, then these myths get inscribed in the gathas and become Truth, after all.
A myth becomes a truth when we believe it. A myth becomes a truth when we practice it. A myth becomes a truth when we preach it. A myth becomes a truth when we value it.
But,
A myth remains a myth when we try to find evidence supporting it, rather than blindly preaching the once trodden steps. A myth remains a myth when we cease practicing it. A myth remains a myth when we stop imparting it's knowledge to the posterity. A myth becomes a myth, for lifetime only when we realize that it does not values us to that extent, to what our culture, our religion, our societal norms do.
Well, that's how "A Myth Becomes A Truth" and how can "A Myth Not Become A Truth"; and, that's holistically one's own opinion rather to keep up to the age old traditions or to vent in a new way, an altogether unique meaning to the notion.
It's as quirky as this equation after all-

MYTH -------------> TRUTH
