It's fascinating how stories can tap into those hidden desires we all have, the ones we might not even be fully aware of, and help us explore them in a safe and imaginative way.
I could see how much heart you put into this idea ❤️. The way you read those stories felt like you were sharing a part of yourself, and it was truly a gift to witness. It reminded me of God’s love in its simplicity-bringing a sense of peace and hope 🌿📖."
Hi Janet... I'm really impressed hearing your ideas as a stream of consciousness. I like that you're a very reflective thinker, and at such a young age too... Keep posting!
This reminds me of the book "chicken soup for the soul", which is a collection of uplifting stories. the title takes literally the idea that stories can be like medicine
Thank you!,I really needed that. It reminds me of a night I spent in Chiapas in Mexico, walking around and getting completely lost in the mystery. And in the middle of it I met other people who were doing the same thing! There were some beautiful ducks by the river yesterday, probably when you were making this video. I made a video of them. It's on my channel.

Your thoughts on stories remind me of a book called The Four Agreements by Don Ruiz and the importance of the need to "be impeccable with your word," which is the first agreement from the book. I'm very careful with the stories I tell myself. I think people would be wise to use stories as medicine. I agree with you; We all need story time.
I love Midnight Rainbow. Listening to you read it was like meditation. Thanks for sharing. Also, I think I understand the meaning behind your summer day story, which really makes me want to express some of my thoughts and ideas through stories.
Stories Tell me book, learned in the way All the wisdom you hold The words through your pages Through the ages Beacon of strength and mastery Tell me book, what lesson for today “I bear stories and accounts aplenty Of travels and treasure trove But on this day - look not for the pathway For my pages give in to no words today No quivering soul No foresight nor philosophy Behold the brittled find Today I bring thee token from a fairy A modest garden flower Fragile but not weakly Prized in my folds safely Long ago, awaiting light of day Press it now onto your heart securely Let yesterday live anew today”
Yes, I get it. However, I prefer to think it's a wierd coincidence rather then magic because the world is a cruel unforgiving place. At least in my experience
@@IdeaArchitectsOrganizedChaos yeah, and hey at least having the video is better than nothing, but way better if the parent is there watching along in case the child has a question instead of leaving the child there alone watching with no one to ask
There is a beautiful book of stories called "The Man Who Counted: A Collection of Mathematical Adventures " written by a Brazilian mathematician under the pseudonym "Malba Tahan", I really think you would enjoy this work, It is very inspiring and brings out our inner child, and I think it's similar to what you said before about the resolution of a story or characther is exactly the resolution that you want hear, each chapter presents situations and conflicts that lead the character to use different mathematical reasoning to solve everyday problems in an insightful and playful way at the same time, it is by far the best mathematical fiction there is. If you read it someday, let us know. 🌻🌻
I would say that you have to be careful of having too broad terms that cover everything because then they become useless(it only works in a few rare cases). But yes, stories are the most powerful thing because every kid is given stories since kids are all born ignorant. Power does necessarily mean good. After all, look how stories have shaped humanity... for the better and the worse. All religions are stories(they are the adult versions of Santa Klaus). Of course all stories have truth in them but it doesn't mean the believer of that story knows that truth(and might believe in the opposite). After all, it is stories that make innocent men go kill other innocent men. It is stories that make some men feel superior over others. Also, children today are inundated with "adult stories". It is stories that are used to manipulate people(lies are stories). So, you can't say stories are medicine just like you can't say cyanide is medicine. Stories are a vehicle to change people. All we really have, as humans, are stories and the material universe(which gives us things like logic, math, etc). Stories are used to explain the other when people lack an understanding. This can become very dangerous when the stories are based in extreme ignorance(including hate). After all, Socrates died from drinking tea ;) [My point with all this is you have to be careful not to overgeneralize or you will include things you did not mean to include and it will become counter productive(not always but only if you are very careful and most people are not) ]
I didn't say stories are always good. I said they are powerful. And exactly like you said, power range on a scale. Thats why it's important to choose what stories we read, believe, share. That's why I shared the ones I did.
@@EduardO-gm7hx Can? The entire human species has been shaped by them and the biggest stories can be seen as the various "shapes" throughout human history. E.g., the Egyptians, the Greeks, Romans, etc. Stories also bleed and are reused. The 3 largest religions all pretend to be different but all are offshoots of the Egyptian religions almost to the T. People forget or never learn their history and so repeat stories. Most adults are just children in large bodies. Every adult has been shaped by stories(good and bad). No one is independent of it. Some are more resilient from than others but everyone is completely affected. E.g., we have to deal with the bad stories of other people even if we insulate ourselves from them. (e.g., wars, religions, etc)

Thanks so much for sharing Janet.
I always love stories especially while going to bed 😅

"Last leaf"- amazing story by pen O. Henry..

Stories
Tell me book, learned in the way
All the wisdom you hold
The words through your pages
Through the ages
Beacon of strength and mastery
Tell me book, what lesson for today
“I bear stories and accounts aplenty
Of travels and treasure trove
But on this day - look not for the pathway
For my pages give in to no words today
No quivering soul
No foresight nor philosophy
Behold the brittled find
Today I bring thee token from a fairy
A modest garden flower
Fragile but not weakly
Prized in my folds safely
Long ago, awaiting light of day
Press it now onto your heart securely
Let yesterday live anew today”

What genre(s) do you generally write stories in?
Definitely bedtime stories are important specially for children, do parents really still do it or they just put them a video of the story
@@JCarrera_ll Depends on the parent, depends on the day?

That’s precisely why propaganda works. Stories can certainly shape the minds of adults.
@@EduardO-gm7hx Can? The entire human species has been shaped by them and the biggest stories can be seen as the various "shapes" throughout human history.

@@MDNQ-ud1ty yes can, not all stories are believable enough to shape adult opinion.
