Your life is not a story — Karen Simecek
So, why is this a problem? One issue is complexity. Seeing yourself as the main character in a story can overly simplify the fullness of life. Think of the way in which people talk about their ‘journey’ through life. Through this narrative, certain events become more significant while others are overlooked, and random events can be reframed as being part of some grand plan.
Hidup bukanlah sebuah cerita. Struktur cerita biasanya ada tiga elemen utama iaitu orientasi, komplikasi, dan resolusi.
