Luke_3_I

Last year in Dr. Joe's 690, we all looked at our Meyer's Briggs typology. I'm an ENTP. Middle of the road on ENT. Very well pronounced P. I'm a "P" to a fault. It's difficult to focus on any one thing because I'm interested in so much. I have problems with attention span on a large level.

While reading Chapter 3 I noticed Simmons using societal issues as examples of story and fact. Simmons also alludes to each and every one of us telling ourselves stories we believe in(or don't believe in) to uphold or oppose major societal issues. Because these are such big issues and require so much attention in a person's life I'd like to refer to these as macro-stories.

I believe that there are only so many macro-stories that one can commit themselves to before personal effectiveness is compromised. We have a macro-story attention span. In order to preserve those stories most important to us there comes a point where we must reject other stories as truth or priority. This preserves our effectiveness toward a chosen societal issue.
