It was a way for people who never traveled farther than 10 miles from where they were born, and interact with no others except within that area, to make sense of the world around them.

Life is full of hardship yet because of our modern inventions we’ve overcome most of them. To people who lived where half their children would die before adulthood, having reassurance that the world worked in a simple and easy to understood manner is obviously one source of possible comfort for the psyche.
