Advertisment

Story

I admit it. I’m promoting my stories now, but at least I’m trying to be honest about it. Hopefully this sets me apart from most of the advertising I have heard and seen in my life so far.
I remember my teenage years, 17 to 20 years old, when I smoked. A cowboy on his horse, with his Malboro in his hand, promised freedom. Coca-Cola promised ultimate happiness. Miracle creams make you look 20 years younger, and so on…. There are too many examples to list here.

Do you feel lonely and misunderstood? You can spend money on a dating agency to find someone who can help you. Or you can go to Story.One and meet people there with stories, perhaps similar to yours. There is a saying that says, “People come together through talking.” Now you can say, “People come together through reading.”

Have you lost faith in miracles, whether small or large? You can also find enough stories about this on Story.One. My humble contributions:
My winter miracle 1957
A friend in Memphis
With the bus from Ohio to Georgia

What about believing in today’s youth? Will they manage the future well? Aristotle said 2,300 years ago: “I have no hope at all for the future of our country once our youth provide the men of tomorrow. Our youth are intolerable, irresponsible and appalling to look at.”
My youth was, to put it mildly, a bit of a disaster, and yet God, guardian angels, good people, whoever, helped me to become a somewhat reasonable person. My stories about it:
Confession of a youth
Little Franz, walked alone – 1. + 2. Try
Wolfgang – first and second part

Are you depressed because some things didn’t work out according to plan? It happened to me often too. I was sometimes a clumsy person. I learned and in the end some things turned out well! Later I even laughed at a few things. Stories about it:
Test of patience
My cooking skills

When I left home at the age of 20, we still didn’t have a television. Today I have a connection with over 100 channels. Does that make me happier? What I “love” the most is when I find a good movie and it has about 10 minutes of commercials every 20 minutes. I change the channel, there is also advertising. I suspect a conspiracy they made together!
Another plus for reading on Story.One! No advertising bothers me!
