An experience with "Story"

After reading about the Six Sences, especially about story, in Pinks book I was able to get a better understanding of how much they are involved in society today. I was in my class the other day. My teacher had given the class a commen topic and we broke up into groups and had to discuss and debate on that topic. I came to realize how many different points and stories every individual could come up with. Not only that, but also how competitive it is to know the most out of everyone. When one person would make a point, there would always be someone else there to either make your story more substantial or completely rebut your point. Information and data isn't good anymore unless you can make something out of it. I believe that in some ways this is making our society more competitive, as well as allowing people to better express and expand themselves. This book is allowing me to really understand what is going on around me and understand more of how our society works and how it has changed. Reading this has allowed me to open my eyes, as in this example.
