People’s Stories

 Imagine how much insight and greater understanding we would have of other people if we knew all the stories of their lives.  Or at least the more significant ones.  How eye opening it would be to not have illusions about the seeming easy and uncomplicated lives of others.  Life stories always have more depth than what those not quite close enough can see.  It makes me think about social media.  People have shared their understanding about it and how it makes (perhaps to young people in particular) it appear that others are living less stressful and more amazing lives because they are just showing a glamorous appearing edited version of their lives.  In reality people all live lives complete with their own unique challenges and complexities of human existence.
