Storytellers and philosophers alike attempt to explain and make sense of the mysteries and uncertainty of this world, so is curiosity an innate quality of humans?

The article Story reminded me of a Ted Talk given by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie called The Danger of a Single Story. They both are relatable in the sense that stories are being told either to give people imagination or an idea of what is life. My question  is how does an authors background, experiences or environment affect the way they write a story? How are readers affected by their own interpretations of the story?

Why does the existence of God equate to the idea of a perfect being? How do we know that there exist a perfect being? Just assuming that there will always be someone more perfect than us? Why does it have to be God?

If our minds see us as existence, then what right does our dreams not have to their existence?

Who are “learned men” if teachers and professors have learned from, and pass on, the “doubts and errors” that Descartes believes to be embedded within education?

Potentially, we can not invalidate the existence of anything just because our senses aren’t open to them but likewise, we can not validate the existence of anything since our knowledge originated from stories, which may very well be, nothing but that?

Our nightmares are dreamt by our minds but they are not reality so why is it that sometimes our dreams represents our feeling and our subconscious? Ultimately is my dream a illusion or reality?

Is human curiosity one of the reasons why ancient myths and stories continue to fractionate us today, even though we know them to be false?
