I think that myths and mythical stories, in the past, provided people with bits of truth and wisdom through otherwise fictional stories. I think that, in today's world, they're unnecessary. We can get truth from science and the scientific method, as well as rational thinking and empiricism. But we then have to ask, how do we get our 'widsom?' Certainly, wisdom still has value in 2019 and beyond.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
