“We don’t need a list of rights and wrongs, tables of dos and don’ts: we need books, time, and silence. Thou shalt not is soon forgotten, but Once upon a time lasts forever.”
Decryption of quote
Once upon a time lasts forever is a powerful reminder of the enduring impact of stories and the importance of nurturing our imagination. It speaks to the timeless nature of storytelling and the way in which it can transcend boundaries and connect us to our shared humanity.
When we are faced with a list of rights and wrongs, it can feel restrictive and limiting. We may feel pressured to conform to societal norms and expectations, rather than exploring our own unique perspectives and experiences.
On the other hand, books, time, and silence offer us the opportunity to delve into the depths of our imagination, to explore new worlds and ideas, and to reflect on our own beliefs and values. They provide us with the space to think critically, to question the status quo, and to challenge the boundaries of our own understanding.
Thou shalt not may provide us with temporary guidance, but it is easily forgotten in the face of real-life challenges and complexities. However, Once upon a time has the power to resonate with us on a deeper level, to inspire us, and to shape our worldview in a way that lasts a lifetime.
Through the art of storytelling, we are able to connect with others on a profound level, to empathize with their struggles and triumphs, and to gain a greater appreciation for the diversity of human experience. Stories have the ability to transcend time and space, to bridge cultural divides, and to unite us in our shared humanity.
So, let us embrace the magic of Once upon a time and recognize the transformative power of books, time, and silence in shaping our understanding of the world. Let us seek out stories that challenge us, that inspire us, and that remind us of the beauty and complexity of the human experience.
For in the end, it is not a list of rights and wrongs that will guide us, but the stories we tell ourselves and each other that will truly endure and shape the legacy we leave behind.
