Myths are Real, Reality is a Myth Quotes

“Truth is important, but myths are equally important because they provide us the illusions that illuminate our lives. Unlike reality, which is to be accepted whether we like it or not, we can choose illusions which are beautiful and serve our purpose. Illusions are made beautiful because they are created to please us while truth is barren and purposeless. Truth is ‘what it is’ but myths are ‘what we want it to be,’ ‘what it can be’ or ‘what it should be’.”

“Our voice of conscience is the result of our social conditioning, which becomes a ‘learned instinct’. If you feel bad when you lie, it may not be because of the voice of your soul but because you have been taught since your childhood to tell the truth and not to lie. Over the course of time, the need to speak truth sinks into your subconscious mind and become your consciousness and your learned instinct.”

“The purpose of history writing has become to glorify the past and inculcate in the mind of every citizen the spirit of nationalism and pride. History is an attempt to visualise the reality of the past from the lenses of today. Every truth of history has to filter through the values of the present to become a part of history.”
