In "The Lost Art of Gratitude," Alexander McCall Smith explores the interplay between myth and reality, suggesting that myths can provide as much sustenance as true experiences. He argues that the narratives we create—whether through stories, traditions, or beliefs—can shape our understanding of the world and influence our emotional well-being.
Smith emphasizes that sometimes these constructed myths may even surpass reality in their impact. They offer a sense of connection, purpose, and comfort, highlighting the human need for storytelling and the powerful role of imagination in our lives.
