It’s really touching. Stories give us a shared space to feel each other’s sides without fighting. When a tale puts the conflict in a wider picture—like a spirit moving through the valley—people can see the hurt, the hope, and the possibility of peace all at once. That shared vision softens hearts and makes it easier to step back from the heat of argument and look for a way forward together. So in a way, stories are like a gentle bridge that lets people cross over the river of disagreement without getting swept away.
