If there was one thing I had to choose that sets humans apart from other life forms, it would be our ability to tell stories. From fairy tales, to politics, story telling is the single most astonishing thing that humanity has created. Stories are in self-talk, stories are in religion, stories are in culture and stories are in nationality. Stories are what makes humanity. Story telling is both the narrative we tell ourselves and others, and the imaginative creations we like to share. All of human life is born of our ability to tell stories.
