It is an important aspect of human nature to tell stories to pass on knowledge or some type of understanding. Storytelling started with the idea of passing on history and as we became more developed, so did our stories. We questioned our existence and the existence of other matters and how it all webbed together. Sometimes we had to create the stories because we didn’t know the truth. And sometimes we created the stories because people understood the metaphors more than they understood the facts. Before the discoveries in space, the sky was something fantastic and the stars were more than just burning gas. As Amini points out, these stars, with lines drawn between them, were given names and attributes. These stars sparked curiosity because there was no way that these stars were just bright lights. Even without knowing about the biological nature of stars, people understood that they were necessary and served a purpose. People knew that everything is happening simultaneously and equally important. Stories of fiction help to convey our perceptions of what is important. When we hear stories of fiction we connect the meanings into our own lives. This helps us to bring shape to our ever-meandering paths. Descartes understood that we have to process information to exist. By telling stories, we are able to process information and make connections between fiction and reality. It is important that we tell stories because it enhances our knowledge. Stories enhance our ideas of reality. Stories are what make us human.
