“A story is an invitation, and a challenge, and a choice all at once”
— David Benioff

Simplified Meaning:
When you hear or read a story, it's like being invited into a new world or perspective. The story asks you to think deeply about its message or characters and what they go through. At the same time, it challenges you to see things differently and to understand viewpoints that might not be your own. For example, reading a book about a person from another culture can help you understand their struggles and joys, making you more empathetic. Finally, a story gives you the power to decide how it affects you, whether it changes how you think, or inspires you to act differently. So in life, when you engage with stories, they help you grow by making you think, feel, and choose how you want to be in the world.
