salve ! as long we keep telling stories about conflict,
we will teach about conflict being a main form of… living.
as long mothers keep telling stories about great warriors that
destroy villages, women will keep being brutalized by those
animalised humans-to-be.
the problem with using fables as a template is that we do NOT live
in such a medieval environment where mysterious animals would kill
our lifestyle; we now know a thing or two about bacteria, virus…
a) conflicts and obstacles are NOT the main reason we love a story
we learn from it and we keep into our heart of hearts.
b) flaws are NOT what makes us marry someone…
c) vulnerabilities are NOT what makes a partner sexually attractive…
stories are about exploring possibilities, learning skills, developing perceptions beyond our tribal familiar birth grounds.
saluti, Roman

Mr. Adora, the post is good and I learned from it the importance of centralising the conflicts/obstacles. I would like to add the importance of statistics (only if there is a requirement) in the presentation. Statistics, as I have learned, are easily remembered and can create a sense of distinctiveness among the talk. It can be a link which could hold the stories, a easy way to recall the nuances.
