11 Inspirational Stories With a Moral Everyone Should Know

Our minds are “story processors”, not “logic processors”, Jonathan Haidt once observed. The social psychologist knows how we use narratives to make sense of our lives. It’s not always possible (or desirable) to be the protagonist in a story that teaches us a valuable life lesson. Fortunately, there are time-tested archetypal narratives, sometimes based on tropes, to help us gain those teachable insights. Here are 11 fables, parables and other stories with a moral everyone should know.
As opposed to logic, stories can mean different things to different people. The moral you take from one of our stories might differ. Perhaps you recognise something else in them depending on how the narrative relates to a personal experience. This is what makes the difference between a memorable life lesson and shallow fridge magnet wisdom. So feel free to collect, memorise and retell the stories; and distil each one into your own thought-provoking quote or aphorism about life.
