“It’s all a question of story. We are in trouble now because we do not have a good story. The Old Story sustained us for a long period of time. It shaped our emotional attitudes, provided us with life purpose, energized action. It consecrated suffering, integrated knowledge, guided education. We awoke in the morning and knew where we were. We could answer the questions of our children. We could identify crime, punish criminals. Everything was taken care of because the story was there. It did not make men good or make for unfailing warmth in human association. But it did provide a context in which life could function in a meaningful manner. Now we are between stories.”
