What Myths and Stories Do You Live By?

What myths and stories do you hold dear? What meaning do they have for you? Here are a few of mine. Life is a drama with many twists and turns in the plot and always something new (Cinderella). Life is for learning, new challenges, new experiences, the accumulating of wisdom, the transforming experience (Ulysses; Pilgrim's Progress; the story of Moses; The Road Less Travelled). It's important to "keep on carryin' on," no matter what, never give up on anything (the story of David & Goliath; The Little Engine That Could; Helen Keller). Life is for love and compassion, sharing one another's burdens and tears (the story of Jesus; No Great Mischief; Heidi). From my titles, it looks like some of those Fairy Tales and Bible stories from childhood really made an impression!
