 I completely agree with your idea that “'truth' isn’t really what is important to society, but rather the story behind 'truth'." This is exactly why we read tabloids and love gossip- its the story of a scandal, the fact that this couple that seemed madly in love and had 5 children together has suddenly been split up due to infidelity. We read an entire novel and not just the last chapter because we want to know the story, the juiciest parts, and that is better than the conclusion. Often people miss the moral "lessons" imbedded in a movie or book if the plot (the story) is engaging enough. Its not what is told but how what's told is told that matters.
