Out of the readings from the book Parallel Myths, a book sampling the Hindu scriptures, I have picked four selections to write about below. The first selection is The Thoughts of Brahma, which is about how Brahma created the world. The next is The Virtue of Compassion which is a story meant to teach a lesson about loyalty. The Third is The King, The Hawk, and the Pigeon which is another story about teaching a lesson, this one though is about keeping your word. The Last is How Rudra Destroys the Universe and is about how the world is created then destroyed through cycles.…

You have an interesting theory, Joyce. It was hard for me to determine why most of these myths have the same message. Something that I have noticed from most of them is that their stories are somewhat similar, the creation myths mostly. At least, they all agree that the world was in darkness at the beginning and the sequence of events that happened as well. For most of these stories, the first thing that was created was the light (even in the Bible).…

The Iron age best describes our current society because of the constant greed, hate, and distrust people have for each other and the world around them.
