Wise tek, is theke a single human story that we emulate in all of our myths?

Yes my son, but it is a shitty story

Here it is: Things were one way, then they were another.

It's not very good. Not for humans. Humans can't feel the story unless the details are filled in.

So maybe you have an object that was taken and gotten back. You have a person who was kidnapped then recovered. You can describe someone's hair or the emblems on a sword or the color of the ocean.

Now the human can both imagine and remember it and therefore be moved by it.

This is why all those weird jungian people write such shitty stories. They are approaching closely to the ultimate myth, and the ultimate myth is absolute balls.

Ah.

How would you write a better story?

Guns and titties, my son. Guns and titties.
