The Plutocrat - Kahlil Gibran

In my wanderings I once saw upon an island a man-headed, iron-hoofed monster who ate of the earth and drank of the sea incessantly. And for a long while I watched him.

Then I approached him and said, “Have you never enough; is your hunger never satisfied and your thirst never quenched?”

And he answered saying, “Yes, I am satisfied, nay, I am weary of eating and drinking; but I am afraid that tomorrow there will be no more earth to eat and no more sea to drink.”

Mythology actually has far more to do with early human psychology and narrative - religion tries to function as an ethic while providing esoteric/numinous material for people who have a taste for that. My point is that mythology (and to some degree religion itself) are frequently misunderstood by anti-theist / anti-organized religion advocates who think myths are just religions of the past - a totally inaccurate assessment in most cases.
