i don’t think it’s a coincidence that the only species (that we know of) that tells stories through our language is the one that’s dominating the planet.
Other species have their own languages, their own methods of communication, but so far we’ve never seen a single one tell a story, or even lie (not counting the evolutionary instinct to play dead, that’s not a conscious action).
We got very lucky twice on our evolutionary journey and with our opposable thumbs, and unbound creativity, we managed to create so much, not all of it good, but hey it wouldn’t be a good story without some adversities
I watched a video once talking about how important storytelling is to the success of humans. I don’t know what the video is called so I can’t find it but it’s an interesting way of thinking that I don’t hear very often

What you call lucky nature calls ‘just keep
