“Stories are a way to give meaning to life. Without stories, life would be nothing more than a series of disconnected events”
— Yuval Noah Harari
Simplified Meaning:
In life, stories help us understand and make sense of things that happen. If we didn't have stories, everything that happens would just seem random and confusing. For example, think about a person who moves to a new city, gets a new job, and makes new friends. Instead of seeing these events as separate and random, we can look at them as parts of that person's adventure or journey to find happiness and success. Stories connect these events with a beginning, middle, and end, making them feel more meaningful and easier to understand. In our own lives, creating and sharing stories helps us to connect experiences, understand our emotions, and build a sense of purpose. By telling our stories, we make sense of our past and envision a future, giving our lives more structure and significance.
