From the Ted Talk by Shekhar Kapur: We are the stories we tell ourselves
Unscramble the Blue Letters
We tell our seotris, and a person without a story does not exist. So Einstein told a story and followed his stories and came up with theories and came up with theories and then came up with his equations. Alexander had a story that his mother used to tell him, and he went out to conquer the world. We all, everybody, has a sorty that they follow. We tell ourselves stories. So, I will go further, and I say, "I tell a story, and therefore I exist." I eisxt because there are stories, and if there are no stories, we don't exist. We create stories to define our existence. If we do not create the stories, we probably go mad. I don't know; I'm not sure, but that's what I've done all the time.
