We like to create stories about things or embellish things so that we can tell them to people and sound cool or interesting. It’s not real though…even if the event actually happened, the story is not going to be an accurate representation of what really happened. And the people we are telling the story to weren’t there, so even though they may feel like part of the event because they are hearing about it, they’re not because they weren’t actually there. It’s a very superficial thing, but we all love to tell stories.
