We become more myth than reality. He might point to our myths and say to us that they are nothing more than vain attempts to avoid the truth. We must be careful not to get lost in unreality. Qoheleth might look at us today and point to a central delusion of our lives. That is the myth of wealth and posessions.
Money is truly one of the most important sources of mythic delusion in our society.
Many actually belief that having a lot of it is the source of happiness. At least many of us act like we do. We gather it and hoard it. We do all we can to keep the government from taking any more of it than necessary. We look down on those who do not do as well as we in accumulating money and possessions.
