QUOTE : Stories are full of questions. What if? What is? Who am I? Who are you? What do I believe? Why do I believe it? We ask these questions in other ways – of course we do, politically, philosophically, spiritually. We address them head-on. And that’s the difference, I guess, because, as Freud worked out at the start of the 20th century, human beings cannot always, or even optimally, address the big, the dark, the difficult, the shameful, the guilty, the criminal, the crazy head-on. We have to go sideways, downwards, away from without running away. We use a proxy or an avatar. And that’s what stories let happen.
