I recently read an author interview in which the author was asked why she decided to portray the coming of Christianity to the Viking world. The book, by the way, is a historical fiction. I thought it very interesting what she had to say….
“All cultures pay a heavy price for the loss of any perspective, a different way to interpret the world and the lives of all its creatures. Like taking a single color out of the myriad shades of the spectrum, we suffer from a kind of blindness, a narrowing of scope. ”
One of her main characters had this to say, the last line, incidentally of the book “It matters not – not what they are named, so long as they are called.”
What do you think about it? Does it make you feel saddened that so much heritage is lost?
T D good point…the line was a seeress speaking of Gods….
Soul..little did I need a lesson in “truth”…thanks for answering though
