Galan’s claim was that people don’t, or rather shouldn’t, have a narrative for themselves because as people we should only live life to experience it and not to tell a story at the end of the day. He says, “Life simply never assumes a story-like shape for us. And neither, from a moral point of view, should it”. This argument he makes, and the arguments he continually makes I can agree with up to certain extents. Like, I agree that life doesn’t have a picture perfect narrative for us(because if I did agree that would be naïve), but I don’t agree that our lives don’t hold enough meaning to become a narrative. We do things everyday, some more exciting than others, but we all have stories to tell if we search enough. When I hear someone say, “what’s your story”, I can then see Galen’s argument, but for me, it’s not the broad overall picture of what is our life story, but it is the small moments that make up our narrative. Galen wrote near the end of his article saying, “the narrative…might be important for some people in some cases. For most of us, however, I think self-knowledge comes best in bits and pieces”. Why cant ones narrative be their “bits and pieces” after all?
