Our minds and thoughts experience many ups and downs as we grow, which is a norm shared by every average person. A child or an adult tends to believe some artifacts, if not true depending on how the narrator presents them. Our most loved friends and close people give out and sound quite severe and real to most will believe and live by the words. So the myth is referred to as what a person believes from what he/she heard or saw. Following the article “Normal Sucks,” written by (Mooney 02) presents a new mode of thinking about how we live and learn uniquely and separately depending on the brain and body’s upshots. The author of the article argues that if people can reorient how they reason out diversity, abilities, and disabilities of what they believe, they can experience revolution.
Our colleges, especially those we trust, can easily change our norms. For instance, my most and close friend believed that if you ate without washing hands, you would dream of being fed by your long-dead relative. If you happen to take the food in the dream, you will die. The myth I believed and feared because he never ate without washing hands from childhood to adulthood. I even consulted my grandmother, and the same response I received. Before, I never believed, but I was afraid of not washing them according to how he took it seriously. We differed with him because I have never dreamt, but I always heard stories that coincided with his myth. When I came of age, I loosened the belief of must washing the hands, and whenever I dreamt of taking food in a dream, I could always wake up. As the years passed, I forgot waking up after experiencing such dreams and have never died. So, from my college’s myth, I have learned some beliefs take effect according to how we set our minds on their impact.
Considering Mooney’s experience, especially when talks about adults and children being trapped in the environment that labels them, reveals to me that they are the problem. In his book “Myths of Cherokee” on my ‘deer’s teeth are blunt’ written by (Mooney 102) it gives a mythical story close to the truth. In this story, it reflected on something I believed in, but it’s not a reality. A time you expect something that acts to be normal only to realize was a typical myth.
