In my Classical Cultures class, we have been examining several different myths this semester. The one that really caught my attention is Clouds. The moral behind this myth is very much relevant to our lives today. It is about moral order. In our society, we follow a set of orders or guidelines that keeps us stable. Without them we will be unstable and destructive. Clouds portrays the life of a man who tries to get the easy way out of paying in debts. He tried to use a bad judgement, and make a good one out of it. In life, there are people who try to justify wrongdoings no matter how bad they are, and this is one reason why Clouds is significant in regards to life. The man eventually realized that that was not the way to navigate his way around things. The moral of the story is, that we all learn from our mistakes.
