More From Ben Okri
The Nigerian Storyteller Ben Okri Says That ‘in A Fractured Age, When Cynicism Is God, Here Is A Possible Heresy: We Live By Stories, We Also Live In Them. One Way Or Another We Are Living The Stories Planted In Us Early Or Along The Way, Or We Are Also Living The Stories We Planted — Knowingly Or Unknowingly — In Ourselves. We Live Stories That Either Give Our Lives Meaning Or Negate It With Meaninglessness. If We Change The Stories We Live By, Quite Possibly We Change Our Lives.’

There Is A Kind Of Expressed Love Which Is Easy To Subvert. When A Figure Is Loved For Their Deeds, Their Conquests, Their Heroism, Their Goodness, Their Love Of The People, These Are Easy Enough To Destroy... But There Is A Kind Of Love Which Is Felt For Apparently No Reason... A Love, Inspired, It Seems, By The Gods, Which It Is Impossible To Fight, Distort, Destroy, Or Weaken. In Fact, The Attempts To Destroy Such Loves Only Strengthen Them. And To Do Nothing Allows Them To Continue To Grow At Their Natural Pace, Inexoribly, Till This Love Becomes A Wide And Silent Adoration.
