While the criteria for this blog is to “reflect on anything in this class so far” and I am inclined to respond to the statement that JP knows everything about prostitutes, I feel it is probably a better idea to talk about discussion and our conclusion that true reality may exist and can be shared with other’s by telling stories. While I do not contest this statement as inherently true, I would like to point out that it is another imperfect way of expression. If stories are our best way to relate our realities together, we fail generally to succeed in giving others good insights at all. Firstly, most if not all stories are embellished and changed by the subconscious as well as the conscious. Secondly, we are not capable of explaining true emotions with words or descriptions to any extent comparable to actual experience. Even poetry, which is arguably the best way to connect feelings and emotions with a reader or observer, does not succeed in portraying reality closely. If you disagree, think of the last time you told a story and then said at the end, “you had to be there to understand.” Stories are our best way to relate realities, however they remain woefully incapable of doing so.
