Quote of the day

"Stories can conquer fear, you know. They can make the heart bigger."
(Ben Okri)

Experiencing a story can alter our neurochemical processes, and stories are a powerful force in shaping human behavior. We need to be careful with them, we do not need mindless TV news and movies, but the classical stories and tales, to properly shape a balanced and positive mindset for our children. We often tend to forget this. I can only finish this post with the quote of Neil Gaiman in Coraline: "Fairy tales are more than true, not because they tell us that dragons exists, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."
