The myths we create
People have their own conceptions about everything that surround them. They see some events and things and give it reasonable explanations according to their visions of world and beliefs. Usually those explanations are based on humans' beliefs only but sometimes there are also explanations based on scientific researches. Though, there are explanations that remain unchanged even when there is a scientific research that disproves mass point of view.
It may happen on two reasons. The first reason is humans' unwillingness to change their beliefs and replace them with new unknown. The second reason is that scientific researches are known for few people and most of humanity remains in their sweet ignorance. Such people believe that they are right and share their knowledge with their friends and children and so the false point of view is passed on from one generation to another.
The myth like that comes down from father to son and no one consider those as myths but as the fact about their lives. Though, such strong belief in credibility of that point of view won't make it the truth. There are norms and rules proved by scientific researches and even the strongest belief is not able to change the rules. One may believe in whatever he or she wants though, one should remember that except beliefs there are the refutable facts that may not be neglected and forgotten.
During the life and development of society people have created a number of myths about everything. Most of those myths are considered as crystal truth and so people believe in false rules they created themselves. That is the source of all myths we know today. Though, in most cases we don't even no that the rules we take as truth are just myths created by us or our ancestors. We also don't know about scientific researches that disprove those myths and so we remain in sweet ignorance. Moreover, we believe the myths and pass myths from one generation to another.
There are myths that deal with psychology of people. We have false believes about what our children want, or about what our parents need, or about what women are afraid of and what men are excited with. We believe in thing suggested by our parents, things that were suggested them by their parents. There are also myths that deal with different kinds of scientific facts. No matter the disproof science gave for that fact. There are people who still believe that a penny fallen from a high make a speed enough to kill passer-by. Though, a few people know that there is already a disproof for this theory.
It is okay to believe in things that are passed on from generation to generation but only in case if those are customs. It is wrong to reject that the Earth is round only because you no nothing about the theory that disproves the fact that Earth is flat. Read carefully pages that deal with one or another myth and you will know for sure what is worth to believe in and what is not. It is rather interesting and useful to find out which of your beliefs are just myths and which of those crystal truth is.
