story telling
Why do we love stories? Be because they entertain us? Or because they teach us a lesson as they entertain? Whether they are historical or fictional, stories are a way for those with wisdom to dispense it without it falling on deaf ears. We choose to listen to stories because we choose to suspend our disbelief not just in the fantasy of fiction but the absoluteness of our convictions. When we no longer are able to believe ourselves fallible, that is our greatest folly.
