Our Battle with OCD

May 3, 2012 by Tricia Rose Burt

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.” This quote from Philo of Alexandria (not a household name, but apparently a smart guy) landed in my email inbox two days ago while I was in Minneapolis telling a story with The Moth.  I thought of the quote when I was in the airport and the distracted Delta ticket agent was rude to me.

In a recent video on storytelling seen on Carson Daly’s Last Call, The Moth founder George Dawes Green states great storytelling depends on vulnerability. I wanted to really understand that word, so I revisited several definitions including this one from The Oxford Dictionary: susceptible to physical or emotional attack or harm.  Sounds like a pretty scary place to be.
