Our narratives about ourselves and the world are fundamentally about (a) something or someone’s value and (b) whether that something/someone deserves that value. All narratives are constructed in this way: Bad thing happens to person/thing, and he/she/it doesn’t deserve it. Good thing happens to person/thing, and he/she/it doesn’t deserve it. Good thing happens to person/thing, and he/she/it deserves it. Bad thing happens to person/thing, and he/she/it deserves it.
