TELLING A STORY
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak, courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.---Windsor Churchill
Telling a story is great,we read and reading is wonderful but something in form of story attracts us and impress us more. Telling a story is an art where the person telling story creates an imaginary world and listener listen to what the another saying and visualize in thoughts an imaginary world where things happen. This is a art. A kind of field is created between storyteller and the listener that creat a space to learn,change and grow,the person who gifts us a good story is wonderful that is why in Hindu religion,BHAGWAD KATHA OR SAPTAHIK KATHA attracts crores of men and women. People would glued to T.V. when there is a telecasting of Bhagwad Katha on AAstha or any religious channel. We weave something in form of a story which comes directly from heart is wonderful, it does not solve any matter in practical but it has great impact on the listener . It create something bigger than our differences. The power to tell a story is power to change our perceptions,to create a new world of experiences.
The story teller first gather information from sources,
listen to others and read from material
based on his story.Input can come from different sources so the story teller
should be a patient listener ,reader and having art to narrate all dramatically
to impress his audience. Stories told in a song ,in children playing, even with
a glance as Sri Krishna had told Arjuna
in Geeta . Everybody has
something to tell and it is a story. The origin of story has come with the
expression of word come into existence.unfolding the universe from the imagination of God.Anyone
can spin and weave a good story, can gather a good crowd to listen to his story
provide it is catchive. Story has power to bind. It has capacity to bind or to separate,when we
look as a united form we are bound together and when there are conflicts comes
from a limited view can separate the opinions and persons. The effect of story
depends on the type of story which we are going to tell,area is not limited to
one or two things,unlimited imaginary powers can create stories.
We have stories related to gods,universe and person-fairy
tales are attractive-all time attraction.Stories about aliens,about big houses
and comforts like prince and princess. We want the same status and comforts in
secret. And now T.V and media is playing a big role in telling you different
stories in different form. Anyone can have car,big house or can do shopping in
big Malls like prince or princes. Any one can live lifystyles offered by big
business owners who lures every one by
means of advertisement and media a big lot to have big sales and margin
.
Lastly succumb to EMI when your salary spend in paying
pending amounts then you think you should have
not spend your energy and time in vague .Young generation is lured by
Brands,expansive items and look forward to chase next dream. And there is always next thing pending in the list,giving
constant stress and anxieties. Young generation is powerful,confident and live
for now only,they do not think of past or future- truly living in power of now. They are sure of
their potential and earnings so they use their credit cards confident
.
.
What happened afterwards, as younger’s have more power and
they do not ready to listen to elders,or learn a lesson from their experiences.
Like ever coin has two side, this coin has the other side of despairs tensions
and strains. As they earn big amount,they are sure of their earnings so they
spend on needs which are based on social prestige – standards they have to maintain. All in bigger picture based on false sense of social pressure. Then there
is breakdown if support system collapsed, support system may be elderly parents
or spouse. Mostly young people do not see morality,they think only life lived
in prime time of life is to enjoy.
If they had spend
wisely, saved a fair amount for life
crisis, if they had believed in simple life- their life would have no strains
like they are facing now.Live in today does not mean that be mad on the pretext
of enjoying. Any enjoyment after sometime lost its charm and feeling, as law of
diminishing return apply everywhere in this world. Only a few lucky ones sense
the changing moods and huge problems in the face of high expectations. Be ready
to face instant gratification of your false needs, Be ready to face your
actions reaction.
