Re: Our world (4.00 / 3)

I agree, but one does not have to be a philosopher to change your myth. I assume the philosophers are the ones we hear about or read from - but there are more people out there who have been able to change their narrativ.

Re: Our world (none / 1)

I think you tend to hear from people who change their structural narrative because it results in such a fundamental change to the self and so it is perceived by them as an event worthy of being communicated to others.

Think of all the born-again Christians who can't stop trying to save others by convincing them to accept Jesus Christ as their personal saviour.

Re: Our world (4.00 / 2)

Some, but I know quite a few who have no desire to try to convince others to of their new structural narrativ.

And not everyone who changes their narrative become a born again Christian. :-)

That's not what I said, I said that everyone who is a born-again Christian has changed their narrative.

Here's a conceptual metaphor for you: "falling off the horse on the way to Damascus".
