I really enjoyed this perspective on myths and meaning. It got me thinking about how I see things in my own life.

Personally, I don’t feel a strong need for a new myth because I already find meaning in dharma and karma. I see dharma as a kind of natural calling—something that gives life direction—and karma as a reminder that our actions have consequences, even beyond this lifetime.

For me, life itself offers plenty of shared experiences—family, aging, responsibility, and personal growth—that connect us all. I don’t necessarily feel the need for a grand narrative beyond that. But I can see how myths help people make sense of things, and I think everyone finds meaning in their own way.

This article definitely made me reflect on where I find meaning, so I appreciate that!
