O11.   I somehow just came across the old history knowledge of Finnish peasant Lalli who around 1100's murdered bishop Henrik on the ice of the sea. Christianity was not yet in Finland. The Swedes were very unwise, very poor influence for the Finns. The Finns likes church because it too had some wisdom. But bishop Henrik was in friendly terms with the Swedes whom he helped to come to Finland. So the peasant whose name Lalli brought the association "laululintu" = singing bird, which Finns consider wise since it has both nature environment and music, Lalli tried to protect the possibilitues for wisdom in Finland and so he killed the bishop Henrik on the ice of the sea between Sweden and Finlsnd. But Finland was conquered and so we dtill have the problem of too luttle room for wisdom, too luttle understanding on those who claim to give the possibilities for wisdom and lufe with in the nature.

I haven't know what a myth is. But I think that this one is a mythical tale, somehow inscribed in the collective history of the Finnish culture. I guess that such means that it isn't so much a historical fact but instead a major phenomena still happening around here, maybe in similar places too. It was 1100, what could it be that tends to rise to the top? When some group or culture has a collective theory perspective, a group that tends to conquer it are those who claim to follow the same theory perspective well but don't respect it's values. As a cure one should demand good quality and common sense, justice and responsibility too.
