The problem is that most people are not aware that what we call reality is, in fact, just a story. For example, The Unites States of America is just a story, for if you go into outer space and look at the earth, you will see no markings indicating where the Unites States ends and other countries begin. Money, too, is a story, for it has no inherent value. Instead, money derives its values because society agrees that it has value. Stories are how we go to war. A particular event, say 9/11, doesn’t by itself start a war. It is only when presented with the story behind the action – that it was carried out by a terrorist organization intent on taking away a way of life – that an entire country can be persuaded to support invading two foreign countries, whose people had little to do with the original event.
