Reality Stories Awful

More From Henning Mankell

Yes, we could talk to you for days on end about all the bad first dates. those are stories. funny stories. awkward stories. stories we love to share, because by sharing them, we get something out of the hour or two we wasted on the wrong person. but that's all bad first dates are: short stories. good first dates are more than short stories. they are first chapters. on a good first date, everything is springtime. and when a good first date becomes a relationship, the springtime lingers. even after it's over, there can be springtime.

If you create an act, you create a habit. if you create a habit, you create a character. if you create a character, you create a destiny.

The western approach to reality is mostly through theory, and theory begins by denying reality - to talk about reality, to go around reality, to catch anything that attracts our sense-intellect and abstract it away from reality itself. thus philosophy begins by saying that the outside world is not a basic fact, that its existence can be doubted and that every proposition in which the reality of the outside world is affirmed is not an evident proposition but one that needs to be divided, dissected and analyzed. it is to stand consciously aside and try to square a circle.
Philosophy Reality Squares
I don't necessarily think stories have functions any more than diamonds have functions, or the sky has a function... stories exist. they keep us sane, i think. we tell each other stories, we believe stories. i love watching the slow rise of the urban legend. they're the stories that we use to explain ourselves to ourselves.

I have always felt a little bit uncomfortable with question [why i'm write these stories]. it's not a question that you would ask a guy that writes detective stories or the guy that writes mystery stories, or westerns, or whatever. but it is asked of the writer of horror stories because it seems that there is something nasty about our love for horror stories, or boogies, ghosts and goblins, demons and devils.
Writing Horror Stories Guy
The desire for story is very, very deep in human beings. we are the only creature in the world that does this; we are the only creature that tells stories, and sometimes those are true stories and sometimes those are made up stories. then there are the larger stories, the grand narratives that we live in, which are things like nation and family and clan and so on. those stories are considered to be treated reverentially. they need to be part of the way in which we conduct the discourse of our lives and to prevent people from doing something very damaging to human nature.
