“People are more effectively motivated by myths and symbols than by logic and reasons.”

Although the reasoning side of my brain understands that logically myths are stories being passed through generations. A story that’s neither authenticity nor its origin can be proven. But despite that understanding, I still believe that people are more effectively motivated by myths and symbols than by logic and reasons. Humans require a cause to motivate them. Myths provide that cause and symbols provide a sense of belonging.

It should be known that myths have historical basis. A myth is something that is born from truth, but not necessarily 100% true. Ancient peoples used myths to explain things usually in nature that they could not understand. For example- Ancient Chinese could not explain the solar eclipses, so their myth was that a dragon was eating the sun. This is not the best example of how myths motivate people more than logic and reason , instead it simply explains how myths get originated.
