I was once coming out after supper. Most of my fellow companions were also present in the same campus. I saw a friend of mine carrying a flask of ice. I was surprised. I began to judge that person and the situation. I assumed that some of my friends were getting the ice for some party. The next day I asked my friend about the night party and he was looking bewildered. He was confused and he asked me “What party?” I reminded him of the ice he was carrying last night. He then told me something that made me turn red. He said that his brother had very high fever the previous night and he was taking some ice to cool his forehead. I realized that I had been such a fool. Very often we tend to judge people without any reason or rhyme. Dr. David Burns says "It’s your right to make a few mistakes. If people can't accept your imperfections, that's their fault."
As a learning tool, storytelling can encourage us to explore their unique expressiveness and can heighten our ability to communicate thoughts and feelings in an articulate, lucid manner. These benefits transcend the art experience to support daily life skills. In our fast-paced, media-driven world, storytelling can be a nurturing way to remind us that spoken words are powerful, that listening is important, and that clear communication between people is an art.
