We can apply it by living a purposeful life. Since we don't know who will live or die, we should make the most of our time. And as for who tells our story, we can be kind and do good deeds so that people will have positive things to say about us.
In real life, we can use this concept in several ways. First, when facing challenges, remember that life is uncertain. Just like we don't know who will live or die, we should be brave to take risks. Also, in terms of 'who tells your story', we can be more open and share our experiences. By doing so, we are actually influencing the story that others will tell about us. For example, if we are always positive and helpful, others will tell a story of a great person.
Well, perhaps it's about the uncertainty of life and death. In life, there are so many factors that determine who gets to survive various situations and who doesn't. And when it comes to the part of 'who tells your story', it's like thinking about how our legacies are carried on. It might be our friends, family, or even strangers who end up sharing what they knew about us.
In real life, we can think of it in terms of relationships. Our friends and family are the ones who can 'tell our story'. The choices we make can determine whether we 'live' fully or just exist on the verge of 'dying' in terms of our potential. For example, if we pursue our dreams, we are living, but if we let fear hold us back, it's like a part of us is dying.
In social media, we can also apply this concept in a way. Our online personas (avatars in a sense) can have different 'lives'. Some might gain popularity and thrive (live), while others might fade away (die). And the users themselves, as well as the social media algorithms which decide what gets shown and how it's presented, are like those who tell the story of these online avatars. For instance, a person's Instagram profile is like their avatar. If they post interesting content regularly, their avatar 'lives' and their followers (and the algorithm) help tell their story. But if they stop posting or post uninteresting things, their avatar might 'die' in terms of losing followers and visibility.
For starters, we should be conscious of our actions because they will be part of the story. 'Who lives' is us, and we should strive to live in a way that we want to be remembered. When it comes to 'who dies', we should accept the finiteness of life. And regarding 'who tells your story', we can surround ourselves with people who will accurately convey our essence after we're gone. For instance, if you're a kind - hearted person, you want those around you to remember and share that side of you.
Through the characters' dialogues and songs. For example, characters who have witnessed the events and survived might sing about those who have passed away, thus telling their story.
One way is through our own actions and the things we create. For example, if you write a book about your life experiences, you are directly influencing the story that is told about you. Also, being involved in the community and leaving a positive mark can ensure that people who respect you will be the ones to tell your story.
It's a complex question that often depends on the context and the story being told. Sometimes, it's fate or circumstances that determine these things.
One way is to be more aware of the choices we make. In a game, our choices determine the outcome. Similarly, in life, the choices we make contribute to our life story. So, make choices that will add positive chapters to your story. Also, don't be afraid of 'losing' in small things because in a game, we often learn from our losses and come back stronger. For instance, if you don't get a promotion you wanted, see it as a chance to improve and aim for a better outcome next time, just like you would in a game if you failed a level.
One way is to be more empathetic. When we show understanding and compassion to others, we are more likely to receive the same. For instance, if a friend is going through a tough time and we offer support, later when we need help, they might be there for us. Also, in our work, if we are honest and put in effort, it can come back as recognition or opportunities. This concept encourages us to be aware of how our actions today can create an 'echo' of positive or negative experiences in the future.
Often, it depends on the plot and the author's imagination in a fictional setting. In real life, various factors like nature, human decisions, and unforeseen events play a role.
