@mral @meredithw Sorry I think that's overly simplistic. There's a reason "stories with a moral" are popular in both secular and spiritual circles.

Fact-check the hare and tortoise race?

Stories are useful learning tools for people to see a situation from another point of view - often one that doesn't threaten them in the same way as a more on-the-nose narrative involving them directly.

This might be a description of events that really happened, but it serves a useful purpose none-the-less.
