Our lives are shaped by the stories we tell ourselves. The veracity of these stories determines how much we live in reality.
Storytelling necessitates paying close attention to the details of life. It necessitates the development of a “morally thick” vocabulary that highlights the nuance in our intentions. We need more expressive language to capture our situations and our responses to them, rather than thinking about our decisions in simple terms like “right,” “permissible,” or “inexcusable.”
