The Myth that I am going to talk about is the Coming of the Messiah. I feel that this myth can be true in more cases than any of the other myths. An example of this myth would be the movie "We Are Marshall." This team has just faced great tragedy with almost all of their players and coaches die in a plane crash. The new coach comes in and continues the tradition at Marshall. So the coming of the messiah is when all things are looking down, somebody comes in and does just the exact opposite. So how does the Coming of the Messiah myth help us understand our world? I think that it reminds people that even when you think you can not get back up, there is still hope as long as you have faith. This myth could hurt people because some people may become reliant on somebody else to help them with there problems. But in reality there is not always somebody in fleshy form to help us at all times. Sometimes you have to deal with the responsibility's that life throws at you all by yourself. That is also how I feel this myth could hurt people. When I first learned about this myth, it was the most interesting to me and a lot of mass media's came to my mind, that I felt related exactly to the myth the coming of the messiah.
