we tell heroic stories

From the Bible to the Bhagavad Gita, Shakespeare to Spielberg, Jane Austen to Ayn Rand, stories have always been our best tool to reveal the character in our characters. That is what the hero’s journey is all about. Stories model what is good, true and beautiful in humanity, and warn of the dark side of our nature. This is why we are called to elevate the best virtues in us all, one heroic story at a time.
