Stories

So many modern stories, much like the

Ancient stories, unfold-

Characters, conflict and plot twists,

Unravelling with similar ends-

Yet we do it,

Again,

Again,

And again.

We fail to heed history's lessons. In many cases, we don't even know history. (Sad) Nowadays, the term "woke" is presented as something terrible, but I strongly disagree. In my view, being "woke" is being awake and aware of what's going on around us, like the rise of authoritarianism. Humans are so very flawed.

Amanda,
They say Shakespeare invented the human being with his stories. And Steven King's tales made him the richest artist in the history of human beings. The Bible's stories tried to save our souls, Scheherazade's saved herself. And Flannery O'Connor's made us wish we'd never learned to read...

Amanda,

You are so right - so many tragedies unfolding every day in the newspapers, wrong decisions at the wrong time. Excellent ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Humans love to do it don't they? Over and over.
