How Time Manipulates Our Emotions
Storytelling Is A Superpower!
Last night was a rerun ritual of my all-time favorite flick – third, maybe fourth round.
Halfway through, I hit pause for a drink break. Coming back, that timeline slider caught my eye – another hour to go. Old news, but here’s the thing: all those scenes yet to unfold flashed in my mind. The character’s journey, the laugh-out-loud bits, the heart-racers, the clever hints dropped along the way.
It hit me hard, the contrast between the first, unpausable experience and now, knowing the emotional rollercoaster queued up. Our brains, right? How they ride the waves of a well-spun yarn, all in the span of minutes. It got me pondering – storytelling, how potent it is, shaping our emotions, bending our perception of time.
And the trick of editing ! It’s a marvel, really, how stories tug at our hearts, toy with our time sense, leaving imprints deep in the psyche. Just an hour on the screen, yet it’s a deep dive into a sea of emotions, thoughts, revelations.
Storytelling, in its purest form, is not just art; it’s magic, manipulation, and a mirror to our multifaceted minds.
