Marinating Reality in Holy Sauce

[Guest guest]

Reality is dry, it lacks spice,

it doesn't stimulate mind's taste buds

as fantasy does, but fantasy is too

superficial and fragile to deeply satisfy.

So People marinate reality in ritual and

myth.

 

Ritual is a slow dance that hypnotizes

with symbolic repetition . Myths are

stories about primordial needs. Add a

little wisdom, a few prohibitions, a few

promises of better things to come, and

you have a religion to sweeten reality's

harsh taste.

 

Few people want to do a rigorous dissection

of reality, when the seduction of ritual

and myth can so easily put fears to sleep,

and season reality to taste.
