Our Story-Telling Minds

Human minds were designed to make stories to explain what the world is like. Sometimes those stories work, sometimes they don’t.

Some railroad laborers who had never seen golf were working near a course one morning. They were intrigued by the game and spent a lot of time watching the players. They saw a golfer knock the ball into a rut and have a hard time extracting it. Then he hit into a sand trap and almost failed to get out.

Finally he had a good shot, and the ball trickled directly into the cup. Whereupon one of the workers who had watched the previยญous difficulties said sympathetically, “Now mister, you are really in trouble.”

  4. An awful lot like life, you watch what other people are doing, but don’t really know what is going on in their life, just what you think you see.
