Formed Stories

Every story is formed for one reason and that’s to make you think life is better. If it was that easy you could just go around making up stories whenever life wasn’t the way you thought it should be…

There are very few hard line facts in a story so what is it that makes a person think a story is needed to make life better? The only reason stories are made up to begin with is because of the way our minds have been programmed. They’re used to keep the mind in a state of agitation by making one believe things need to be different for life to be better. It’s what the ego uses to keep one in bondage to a self that doesn’t exist. This is how most wars are started, because of an egoic story. And whatever the story is whether it’s in a God that’s going to make things better, a superior race or the annihilation of one that will make things better, it all stems from one’s own story that if things were different life would be better.

Life really has nothing to do with a story, but it does have everything to do with trying to arrange life and thinking if things were different it would be better. This is what needs to be discovered if the falseness of a story is to be revealed. If attaching to a story is found to make life better by all means make the story, but for me I would have to say life is better without forming stories; especially that they exist only in my mind. If stories are seen to be real and have some facts to back them up, attach to them, use them, but in truth don’t be surprised if when they are needed to fall back on to make life better, they don’t do what you thought they were going to do…
