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.
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.
It could be the author or the plot's inherent logic. Sometimes, it's just the way the story unfolds that determines who lives or dies.
Well, think of it this way. In a game or a virtual reality setting where avatars exist. 'Who lives' refers to which of those avatars manage to continue in the virtual world, perhaps due to certain skills or advantages. 'Who dies' is obvious, which ones meet their end. And 'who tells your story' might be about who has the narrative control. Is it the avatar itself? Or some external force? For example, in a role - playing game, the game developers can be seen as those who tell the story of the avatars through the game's plot and lore.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We can look for signs of God's presence in the events that happen to us each day, seeing our own lives as a story where God is involved.
Eliza Hamilton's story is told through a combination of historical records, artistic interpretations, and the collective memory of those who study and appreciate her life. As for who lives and who dies, it depends on the specific events and circumstances depicted in different accounts.
