Mark Bennion, a professor at BYU-I wrote in his essay Thinking About the Self, “We tell stories to call forth our humanity, bind ourselves to a greater community, and declare that an individual’s values and perceptions still matter.” But what is a story really but a collection of words with meaning attached? I believe in the power of stories, but I posed that question to make myself think. A story is something more than just a jumble of words, but rather a part of our lives we are attempting to give to the listener.
Oh how the lives of every being is so complex and intriguing!!! So many stories One soul could share to the world! Yet, in a society such as this no-one really thinks like that anymore... Too many stories untold and unheard.
