We humans have a deeply curious about everything, nature around us. This curiosity is important to develop our culture and lives – Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, they are all curious characters. Because of this curiosity, we make stories, tell them and finally come up with something based on the curiosity. For example, people made the Greek and Roman mythology by looking at the stars that were scattering in the night sky, and drew imaginary lines between those stars and imagined them as beings a scorpion, crab, goat, fish, twins, the Virgin… And attached names: Aldebaran, Cassiopeia, Danu, Hamal, Orion, Southern Cross, the Plow… They also shared and told the stories that they made each other. They built some temples based on the mythology by the story, and it improved their architectural skills as well. And the tradition based in a mythical realm with the background of an epic world, is now carried on by theater, novels and film. The story that we make recently is more focused on the science stuff such as SF film. And the fantastical work of science fiction does happen in real life now. So, we can see that the form of knowledge comes from our curiosity and the idea of fiction.
Many moons ago, human made stories and told them to overcome uncertainty and fear. Following “Story” from Hasif Amin, people tell a story, so that we understand why and how this world as created, who our ancestors were and where they came from, so that we understand where we are and where we may be going. I agree with her opinion. As I said earlier at the first paragraph, the reason why we tell stories is because of the curiosity, and might be the fear that they’ve never have an experience. Sometimes, inspirational stories such as God help human overcome fear for real as well. Overall, the reason why people make stories and tell them is not only to overcome the fear but also the curiosity that they’ve never have an experience.
