Stories of Awesome

On a planet with 6 billion human inhabitants and trillions of other life-forms, we are a lonesome people. We notice our differences more than we notice our similarities, and we tend to think that no one can understand us.

And so, in our loneliness, we started telling stories. Stories allow us to recognize that we are not alone after all. There are some universal things about the human experience that come across in stories. It does not matter what form they take: book, song, TV show, movie, etc.

There are stories about family and figuring out what's right.

There are stories about imagination and doing hard things.

There are stories about being a leader even when you're the little guy.

There are stories about confronting temptation and changing your attitude.

There are stories about friends and adventure.
