They do not realize that a myth is dead if it no longer lives and grows. Our myth has become mute, and gives no answers.
In C.G. Jung's "Memories, Dreams, Reflections," he reflects on the concept of myths and their significance in human life. He suggests that myths must evolve and resonate with people's experiences to hold relevance. When a myth ceases to inspire or articulate truths, it effectively loses its vitality and becomes obsolete.
This perspective highlights the importance of dynamic understanding in mythology. A myth's relevance diminishes if it no longer provides insight or guidance to individuals, signaling a deeper need for personal and communal connection to these narratives in order to sustain their meaning and impact.
