I have read somewhere of an old Chinese curse: May you be born in an interesting time! This is a VERY interesting time: there are no models for ANYTHING that is going on. It is a period of free fall into the future, and each has to make his or her own way. The old models are not working; the new have not yet appeared. In fact, it is we who are even now shaping the new in the shaping of our interesting lives. And that is the whole sense (in mythological terms) of the present challenge: we are the ancestors of an age to come, the unwitting generators of its supporting myths,the mythic models that will inspire its lives. Joseph Campbell, Goddesses: Mysteries of the Feminine Divine, p.xiv
