What exactly is a story? It’s something we tell our
family, friends, acquaintances, even strangers, with the purpose of evoking
something in them. That something could be laughter, it could be sympathy,
sorrow or joy. Why are stories important? Stories are perhaps the most
subjective thing everyone has in common – and they aren’t limited to living
beings. Everything and everyone has a story. We human beings have the ability
to narrate our own stories and proliferate them. People live their stories and
die but the stories live on, having been finished, or unfinished, as the case
may be. Stories are thus condensed
expressions of one’s experiences. Not everyone has a book in them but they damn
well have got at least one great story.
