You can spin stories out of the ways people understand and misunderstand each other.

I love how a story can help someone discuss something they otherwise would not.
The telling of stories creates the real world.
No matter what writers say, most stories are about ourselves. The facts might change a little, but not much.
Everybody's got a different way of telling a story - and has different stories to tell.
Stories are different every time you tell them - they allow so many possible narratives.
By telling stories, you objectify your own experience. You separate it from yourself. You pin down certain truths.
All of us are made up of the stories that we listen to, the ones we disagree with and the ones that we agree with.
It's often difficult to get perspective on your own stories, on your own experiences, without talking them through with someone who is genuinely interested in thinking about them. And that's the key.
You can't tell a story linearly if you want people to understand.
You can't help but reveal your bias, and you can't but invest personally in any story that you tell.
