Choose stories wisely

It appears that we are products of the stories we listen and grow with. It is therefore not surprising that narratives form an important source of character, culture and society.[image error]

This thought is not new. Interestingly Plato had written about it in his ‘The Republic’: “… Then it seems that our first business is to supervise the production of stories, and choose only those we think suitable, and reject the rest.  We shall persuade mothers and nurses to tell our chosen stories to their children, and by means of them to mould their minds and characters which are more important than their bodies.  The greater part of the stories current today we shall have to reject”

As we begin our new year, it is therefore critical that we choose our stories wisely, for ourselves, our friends, family and who we influence, for lives will be changed forever based on what we listen, choose, share and tell.

Choose wisely, Live wisely!

Wishes for a wonderful 2019!
