The Office, is the greatest show ever, in my opinion. If you have not seen it yet, you should! I binged watched all of the seasons on Netflix as much as I could until I was finished every episode. The setting of The Office takes place in a small paper company called Dunder Mifflin. It consist of groupings of desk, a receptionist desk, two office rooms and a break room. Majority of the show is played out through this building. I think that is important in making The Office the way it was because being in those tight knit quarters, the people who worked there were like one big dysfunctional family and this showed in many ways through out the show.
Mythology is in our everyday lives, the entire story of our own lives is our myth. That doesn't necessarily mean that myths pertain to the literal part of our lives, but more so in how we experience events, such as our emotional reactions, and perceptions. Every time someone has asked me "what happened?", I construct a story in response around the event that has taken place, all of my memories are stories, that can be told to not only portray an event but to find meaning in what happened. I also have "heroes" in my life, my dad being the biggest one. I've always looked up to him and I am so thankful for everything he does and continues to do for me every single day. He instilled in my many things that have stayed with me, he passed on his own mythological elements in my upbringing. As mentioned in previous blog post, I moved down to GA from MD, and that was a huge part in writing my own story, my own myth, and has shaped me even more. That was an emotion...
