Summary

This quote suggests that one's level of open-mindedness and willingness to embrace new ideas can be indicative of their age. The "pain" mentioned refers to the discomfort or resistance one might experience when being exposed to a novel idea that challenges their existing beliefs or perspectives. The more resistant and uncomfortable a person feels towards different ideas, the more it implies an unwillingness to change or adapt, suggesting a more rigid mindset and potentially older age. Conversely, those who readily accept and engage with new concepts may be perceived as younger in spirit and more receptive to learning and growth.

Storytelling in general is a communal act. Throughout human history, people would gather around, whether by the fire or at a tavern, and tell stories. One person would chime in, then another, maybe someone would repeat a story they heard already but with a different spin. It's a collective process.
