“A world without stories would be a world without love”
— Salman Rushdie
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine a world where no one shares stories through books, movies, or conversations. Stories are how we connect with each other; they help us understand different people's feelings, experiences, and lives. Without stories, it would be hard to feel close to someone because we'd miss out on knowing what they care about and what they've been through. Think about how friends bond over personal stories, or how families stay close by sharing past memories. Without these shared narratives, we wouldn’t build the same kind of deep connections. So, by telling and listening to stories, we create and keep love alive in the world.
