Mythos and Logos

My friend Rahul Kalia writes a very popular blog (www.coachrahul.com). His posts are lucid anecdotes about stuff that happens to him, delivering sharp insights into the business of everyday life. Besides his posts being better written than mine, there is a fundamental difference in the outlook of his blog and that of mine. Rahul's blog takes the "logos" view of life - "here and now", "what, where and how" while mine tends to take the "mythos" view - "past and future", "why and why not". The relationship between the "logos" and the "mythos" views of life is illustrated by the following anecdote. A husband when asked about who takes the decisions in his household replied "My wife takes all the decisions about the small things - for example on what to spend to money, the upbringing of our children, where we take our holidays et. etc. while I concentrate on the big decisions - for example whether Greece should quit the Euro Zone, when Sachin should retire, whether India should attempt a manned moon shot etc. etc."
