The decline of religion, faiths, beliefs and myths has ushered the world into a period of nihilism in which it remains to this day. Our advancements in science and technology cannot make up for this lack of myth which has made it harder to face up to our existential crisis and increased our inclination for psychological suffering. For millennia it was the role of religious symbols to give meaning and a sense of purpose to the life of man. This belief endowed life with a perspective that went far beyond a person’s limited existence. But as society advanced and intelligence rose we began to ask ourselves, why should we believe in something that, considered objectively, through the lens of our more enlightened scientific minds, has no basis in reality?

The symbols of our myths act as the unnoticed, omnipresent guardians under whose protection the young soul matures. A believer's plight is infinitely more satisfactory than that of a man who has outgrown his faith. Who knows that he is nothing more than an underdog with no inner meaning to his life.
