Storytelling

The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon.

~ Brandon Sanderson

Sometimes those questions are, "What is life all about?" or "Am I good person?" or "Do I appreciate enough beauty as I go through each day?"

Sometimes those questions are, "Is someone breaking into my house right now?" or "I don't think I believe in ghosts, but what if they're real?"

Sometimes those questions are, "I'm a much better person than the protagonist in that story, right? Right?!!!"

It depends on the storyteller.
