Stories help us explain everything in our experience from science to relationships, from feelings to memories, and from questions to objections. And with every story we hear, read, or listen, our mind makes cognitive and emotional connections that shape our perspective of the world. Stories preserve culture and pass on cultural knowledge from one generation to another. In essence, stories keep cultures alive. Stories provide a timeless link to ancient traditions, legends, myths, and archetypes. But they also connect us to universal truths about ourselves and our world.
Stories shape our understanding of the world around us, by opening a perspective into another point of view. Stories help create an imagination that helps leads individuals to new ideas that can benefit the world around us. Themes from this stories also help show us a lesson that we can apply to our daily lives. Stories vividly give us imagery that we picture and use to paint our own world that is unique and different it everyone's perspective.
