People believe in ‘myth’ because it helps them understand the world. Myths are like big stories that explain things, why the sky is blue, how people behave, or even where we come from. They feel real because they’re told again and again, often by parents, teachers, or friends.
Examples
- A child hears the story of Santa Claus and believes he brings gifts because it’s told every year.
- People believe in the legend of Atlantis even though no one has found it yet.
- Many people still believe in fairies or dragons because they were part of their childhood stories.
