Description:We are surrounded by stories. Not about Dragons and Pixies, but about real people and events. These stories, of who does what to whom and why, are told on the news and social networks, by experts and friends.But whoever you hear telling them, it’s important to remember that that is what they are - opinions rather than fact-checked accounts. And if we know anything about opinions, it’s that very few of them are ever rigorously fact-checked.Everyone perceives the world according to their ability to focus and remember - two actions that are notoriously unreliable. Two witnesses can each give their accounts of the same event as seen from the same place and yet give versions which at best are slightly different and at worst totally contradictory.The people who claim to know about these things now say that over 50% of our memories (and possibly much more) are skewed or twisted in some way as to fit better our universe of values and beliefs.In short, when we tell stories, we focus on, remember and emphasise the bits that support our world view and play down or conveniently change or forget those bits that don’t.As the listener, the danger is to forget that we’re listening to someone’s opinion and take it as the truth, the whole truth and nothing else. After all, it’s much easier to not bother thinking about what has been omitted or exaggerated, especially if it’s what we want to hear in the first place. Less reputable journalists, thrive on this.Therefore, as it’s important to bear in mind that the accounts we hear might be told very differently by someone else, The author has written this story, the well-known story of Cinderella, but as it might have been told by her stepsisters. If you simply enjoy the story for what it is, that’s fine, but if it helps you remember that, regardless of what story you hear, there is always another point of view, it might just make the world a more open-minded and interesting place which I think would be better for everyone.But that's just our opinion.
