Their stories are of someone who didn’t behave the way you and I would when faced with adversity. Essentially they teach the readers to practice enormous willpower, strength, patience, courage amongst many such qualities.

If I come across something amazing, I’ll hype it up a little more when I spread the word. The next person who hears my version probably adds a bit more. Eventually the final story is just a super glorified version of the original.

Imagine what happened to the stories of the Gods over thousands of years and millions of people’s interpretations and hype. So was God just really someone between us? Maybe years from now, people like Ghandi might end up being worshiped in temples.
