Stories matter because they draw out emotions. Our hearts break for what someone went through. We laugh at an absurd decision and the consequences. We shake our heads in disgust. We feel a surge of envy or jealousy.
Stories matter because we relate to stories. They provide us with common ground. They connect us. Stories take people from thinking they have nothing in common to realizing they have plenty to share. Stories matter because they help answer questions.
