2 Minutes. Go!

What are you gonna do when the narrative betrays you? It can happen to writers, but we can rule with an iron fist in our kingdoms constructed of words. What about the narratives you use to explain life? What about the ones you didn't write? What about the narratives that tell your history? What about the weaponized narratives the rich use to make us hate each other?

What happens when you lose control of societal narratives? People suffer. People die. People let hate take them over.

Its easy to blame social media, but I blame humanity. We have always been like this. We, the majority, have always tried to live happily among the sociopaths who only crave power. They have always existed, and they often get what they want. 

Suffering follows, generally.

It's not that things used to be better, it's just that you used to be less informed. Used to be, it took "news" months to travel the world and, still, not everyone would hear it. Now we have our own personally-tailored 24 hour news cycles in our pockets. They tell us just what we want to hear. 

Narratives are tricky. I don't know a lot about a lot of things, but I know about stories. They are hard to change once you've written them, so it is always wise to tread carefully. Go slow. Take your time.

Me? I'm running from narratives grounded in reality. I'm about to build a fort out of books and live in it forever.
