Well said - I agree with you that considering oneself to be  a story is dangerous, but I believe the danger is primarily to the people around you. It&#x27;s important to find the rest of the world real and valid, even more important than one&#x27;s own journey through life.<p>I&#x27;m not calling for great acts of self-sacrifice, just suggesting that over-consideration of one&#x27;s own narrative can lead to acts of great selfishness.
