How do stories help us?
Stories have been around for as long as there have been storytellers. As long as there has been language. Stories help us share a sense of wonder about life. Stories help us carry our knowledge forward with every generation that receives it. Storytelling is a comfort and a pleasure because it encourages people to come together and to share. We get a sense that we aren’t alone when we participate in lively fantasies. When we create and share jokes and rhymes. When we create stories that show how much we care about our world, and our families and loved ones. The more we share back and forth, the closer we become, and the more we experience life.
