15:13… I had an interesting thought today…

"People love stories, they want to be in a good story and they’ll make up their own story for just about anything or anyone."

It explains a ton about pop culture, in general, not to mention the need for news stories, bedtime stories, rumours and the need to recycle memories.

Everyone's life is its own story, one that only a select few get to be a part of or experience, unless that person becomes famous, to which more than a few can experience.  Everyone lives to write their own story and they can associate what they believe to be a part of their own personal story, making every decision or adapting to every other decision made around them, which keeps the possibilities seemingly limitless.

There are some decisions that are stemmed from previous decisions, which are somewhat predictable, but there are the small little details that can be missed that can affect some of the greatest outcomes.

It's really amazing how some stories have been adopted to fill in the unknown blanks in human history.  The number of years before man really came to grips with its own existence, plus all of the times that we may guess what might have happened at a time when we weren't around or making up some stories to appease our children's curiosity, teach them important life lessons or inspire their creativity.  Stories are a handy tool, when used responsibly.

There are some general criticisms of stories in human history, as you may have gathered in some of my previous writings.  I just wanted to elaborate more on that thought, but it felt like there was going to be more.
