Life's mundane experiences are transferred from one generation to the other naturally and automatically via our genes. However, the cultural and civilizational transfer of experience happens through personal storytelling. Spoken words make a big impact, and so do written words. But visual storytelling, whether via drawings, puppetry, drama or films leave a deeper mark within. Stories that travel through time enrich our civilization. This includes both stories from the past and also our sharing of common present-day experiences and feelings. These are capable of stirring the conscience, and touching the soul.
