| 31 | All societies live by their stories, narratives, or myths. These stories reflect who we are and determine who we will be. Rooted in tradition, they convey and define our roles, priorities, and values; and provide a vision of who we can become. Both consciously and sub-consciously, our stories shape who we are as we reflect them in social, political, and economic structures we create. We make personal and political decisions within the context of our society's overarching narrative. Our economic and ethical choices both reflect and shape the underlying narrative we live out individually and collectively. Bill Phipps, Cause for Hope | |
