The Story Teller and the Listener

What if the stories told to our generations were of a governing cognitive cycle? Masked in the arc of the hero and heroine? Easily known by man, woman and child.

Into the past, same stories, same arcs, but less complex… simple tales.

Further into the past, who started the stories? What person among the group or tribe, what gift, to know the arcs and weave them into a tale? And why?

What role do the stories hold? Their influence on the generations?

Perhaps their purpose and intent is lost. Only to make their way into modern tales, films and plays. A long history whose past tales are the only validation they have.

But there has always been, the story teller and the listener. What are their roles?

Did the listener envision the principles of the first tale? Or the story teller?

From the far past, up to this day… what did the story teller evolve into? What of the listener?

If there is value to the above, it would ask the question…

What do you see, if the story(s) was/were removed?
