Stories are powerful and innately human. They help us understand one another and provide windows to peek into a new culture in different time frames.
When you tell a story, it sparks a connection. That’s how humans have been connecting from the historic era – by telling stories of tradition, culture, rituals, and society at large. Like constellations, stories are our method of making sense of the vastness and chaos of the world.
It is an act of narrating a perspective, determining a particular pattern of people and their events that resides in the consciousness of every individual who knows that story.
Helps us understand our place in the world
Stories transcend generations and develop unique connections with others filled with rich emotions, feelings of love, hardships, sorrow, and joy.
Most importantly, when someone narrates about his life and experiences, we tend to empathize with it and start feeling proud and connected with them.
That’s where we realize how we can make a difference in this world – by empathizing and doing good deeds.
Helps us to learn and act wisely
Stories help us to visualise, imagine, understand, think deep and plan actions. After listening to stories or reading those, we often discuss characters, situations, their actions and imagine ourselves in their shoes and therefore think about our own actions in the light of the situations in these stories.
And through these story-based processes, we learn different aspects of life, concepts and engage better with the world around. Various schools and Storytelling institutes in India introduce stories into their courses and curriculum to help them understand and process information better and faster. It gives them a deeper insight into their psyche, thoughts, and ideas.
