Why do any of us feel the need to tell stories? Psychoanalysts believe that
we have an innate desire to express ourselves. We have an inner yearning to
communicate what we feel or have experienced with another. This is the need
for validation, the need to feel that someone believes we are important enough
to listen to. Each of us has a story. Many nueroscientists argue that we are
composed of stories, that stories themselves are the basis of our consciousness.
The building blocks of stories are nothing more than the logical sequence
of events in our memory. The way in which this logical sequencing affects
us emotively becomes the narrative arch for the stories we share.
