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.
