What in the World are World Stories?
12/15/08
For as long as humans could talk throughout the world stories have been told and retold. They act as vital threads that weave through the fabric of any culture. In any society they define the roots and significance of the peoples. As a culture grows, so do its world stories.
One of the great benefits of my travels throughout the world is the wellspring of world stories I have found in each country I have visited. I have also had the opportunity to learn a bit about each country. So the world stories I hear have substantial meaning to me. In the process, I have discovered how world stories arise out of the cultures from which they are born. My firsthand experience of a given culture heightens my appreciation of their stories. I have visited countries in Europe, Central and South America, and Southeast Asia. The differences as well as the similarities of the various countries impress me deeply.
Some world stories are downright funny. Other world stories are filled with mystery. Many world stories are insightful. Often world stories are enigmatic. Generally world stories contain lessons. All world stories keep us amused.
No matter what, all world stories maintain a deep bond with the fabric of their culture. People tell of their experiences through world stories. Another similiar entry.
