Started reading A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller again and I remembered this video. People love stories and I believe that is why we can get so "caught up" in a movie or a book and because of that is why we get scared, or cry, or laugh; because we engrain ourselves into the story.
Some of his points:
A character that wants something makes a great story.
If what we want is sacrificial, or for the good of others, makes a better story.
If what we want is difficult to attain, or there is a lot of conflict to get it makes a better story.
