Storyteller

(2007-08-05 15:54:57) 下一个

Everybody has lots of stories in his life, short or long, happy or sad, good or bad, right or wrong. Story-telling is one of the major differences between human beings and other animals, in addition to creativity, rational thoughts and the ability to consider the future. There is a saying: “The universe is made of stories, not atoms”.

One’s life is composed of stories. His personalities have been built up and modified based on the stories he has experienced. He will be benefited from the stories no matter if he is willing or not. The more he plays in a story, the clearer he understands and accepts himself. While he is telling a story, he is meanwhile generating another one. If one’s life could be taken as a trip, his footprints would be analogized as his stories. Without it, one could hardly manifest where and who he really is.

As a story-teller, one re-thinks about himself while sharing his stories with others, and influences the audiences at the same time. One doesn’t have to be a good storyteller. Instead, any real story would be plausible, touching and meaningful.

(Some thoughts.)

Come on, please give human beings some credits. :-)))

If you had to be an animal, what would you like to be? :-)))
lindows 回复 悄悄话 人和动物有时是相同的,有时候不同。
不同是因为人不能懂得动物的世界,相同是人自认为懂得。
实际上,大多情况下,人比动物要糟糕。

See, again you polished my thoughts and made it much more vivid.

You are indeed a story-maker. And to me, you have been a story-teller too, an excelent one. I have been so honored. :-))
blhw72 回复 悄悄话 Whoops, sorry, typo, it should be story-maker, not marker. Marker is way easier. LOL
blhw72 回复 悄悄话 Melly, if a person can make stories, I guess he/she can make a life, since life is composed of stories.

I see reciprocal benefit between stories and life. Momentous stories can form a good life while a good life creats the significance of all the stories as return.

I am afraid that I more like to be a story -marker rather story-teller. :))))
