Can human beings tell stories?

Human beings can tell stories; I am human, therefore, I can tell stories.

When people hear a story they often ask: “But, is it true?”

Hearing the question: is it true?; the sage must ask: “What is truth to you?”

The question: “What is truth?” is a much larger question …

When a person hears a story, and accepts the story as true, the person believes the story.

Believing the story, a person may have faith in the story.

Compassion is empathy in action. Sometimes compassion may be allowing someone to have their story — in spite of evidence to the contrary.

Evidence reveals the underlying pattern of fiction and fact.

It is what it is; whatever it is, it is.
