Makes The World Go Round

I like the idea that the only thing holding the world, and indeed the universe together, is the telling of stories from one person to another. Even if this isn't physically true, I believe that it is metaphorical fact.
If there weren't any stories, there would be no invention, no religion, no leisure - no interest in the world whatsoever.
There is something primordial about telling and listening to stories.
We all tell them. We all hear them. We all love them.
And life wouldn't be living without them.

Fabulist Ethan..
