There are numerous examples. In Judaism, the story of Moses receiving the Ten Commandments from God on Mount Sinai is a fundamental 'god and man story'. It shows how God imparts His laws to man. In Buddhism, while there is no all - powerful creator god in the traditional sense, the relationship between the enlightened ones (like Gautama Buddha) and the people they taught can be seen as a kind of 'god and man story'. The Buddha's teachings were a way to guide people towards enlightenment, much like how in other religions, God guides man towards salvation or a better way of life.
Sure. In Islam, the story of Prophet Muhammad receiving revelations from Allah is a key 'god and man story'. Allah chose Muhammad to be His messenger and through him, guidance was given to the people. Another example is from Greek mythology. Zeus, the king of the gods, often interacted with mortals. His relationships with various heroes and humans like Hercules are also a form of 'god and man story' where the gods' powers and human frailties are juxtaposed.
In Christianity, there are stories of people being healed from incurable diseases after praying. For example, some cancer patients who were given little chance of survival but recovered and attributed it to God's grace.
In Islam, the story of Prophet Muhammad's night journey (Isra and Mi'raj) is an important holy story. Muhammad was taken on a journey from Mecca to Jerusalem and then ascended to heaven, receiving revelations during this journey.
In Judaism, there are prophecies about a messiah. While the messiah has not yet come in the traditional sense, there are historical and religious scholars who study the scriptures and historical events related to the anticipation of the messiah. Figures like Cyrus the Great have been seen by some in a messianic light in relation to certain events in Jewish history where he allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple. This is an example of a historical figure having a connection to the idea of a messiah within the context of Judaism.
Another example is Saint Augustine. His story is about his journey from a life of sin and dissipation to becoming one of the most important Christian theologians. His conversion was a major turning point in his life, and his writings have had a huge impact on Christian thought for centuries.
Sure. In Greek mythology, there's the story of Heracles. While not exactly a 'demon man' transformation in the traditional sense, when he was driven mad by Hera, he killed his own children. This was a transformation of his normal self into a violent and uncontrollable state, somewhat like being possessed by a demon. In Hindu mythology, Ravana is a complex character. He was a powerful king with great knowledge but his excessive pride and lust led him to do many evil deeds, which could be seen as a transformation towards a more 'demon - like' nature.
One example could be a situation where the committee had to choose between two patients with similar medical needs for an organ transplant. They might have had to consider non - medical factors like the patient's family situation. Maybe one patient had a young family to support, and the committee had to decide if that was a valid reason to give that patient priority.
Sure. In a fairy tale like 'Cinderella', the happy ending is when Cinderella marries the prince. All her hardships are over, and she gets to live a life of luxury. In a detective story, perhaps the detective solves the mystery and catches the criminal, bringing justice to the victims. And in a science fiction story, the earthlings might defeat the alien invaders and save the planet, which is a happy ending for the human race.
Sure. Maybe in the story, the family man sacrifices his own hobby time to help his child with homework. This shows his dedication to his family's educational development.
In Islam, there is the story of the angel Jibril (Gabriel in other traditions) revealing the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad. Jibril would come to Muhammad in a cave and convey the words of Allah. This is a fundamental story in Islam as it is the origin of the holy book that guides Muslims in all aspects of life.
Yes. From Scandinavian culture, we have the tales of Thor. These stories often involve Thor's adventures and his battles against giants, which are part of the Norse mythology and thus folk stories. In Indian culture, the 'Panchatantra' is a collection of folk stories. These stories are full of moral lessons and are told in the form of animal fables. Also, in Arabian culture, 'Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves' is a famous folk story that has been widely spread.
