If we have the choice of using descriptive myths (history), hyperbolic myths (‘myth’ proper), supernatural myths (conflating ideal and supernormal),or ideal myths (the ideals/platonism)to teach wisdom (how to understand and succeed in the world), then why is it necessary, or even useful, if not harmful, to choose to teach those wisdom literatures that have been used to subvert truth-telling (via the supernatural, and ideal) in both the ancient worlds (Abrahamic Religions), and modern worlds (Marxism/Postmodernism/Esoteric-Occult)?

In other words, if it is so difficult to grasp the hierarchy of { transcendence > monomyth > ‘the plots’ of storytelling > archetype > virtue }, do we refer to those collections of myth which contain falsehoods via conflation of wisdom, truth, and law, using supernaturalism and idealism, when we can constrain ourselves to those collections of myths that contain mere magnifications of the real, that claim only wisdom, not truth or law, and rely only on hyperbole (super-normalism) and drama (super-normalism)?

Why not instead teach people the differences between the honest literature wherein gods, demigods, heroes, saints, and the common man are subject to the laws of the universe, and where no claim is made that there exists utopias, ideals, and the supernatural that holds dominion over the physical universe?

If the story can be told through illustration (dramatization) rather than fictionalism (lying) then why tell a story otherwise?

Why not instead, use hyperbole and dramatization as ‘good’ using Archetypes and virtues, and teach fictionalism using idealism, supernaturalism, and conflation of wisdom, truth, and law, with those same archetypes as ‘bad’, and the the difference as the primary means of illustrating the ultimate conflict between good (True) and evil (lies)?

Thanks. (a great deal)
