To tell a story is inescapably to take a moral stance," wrote the psychologist Jerome Bruner. Every story we tell, of marriage or life involves judgement about the salient facts, the details to amplify, the impression we wish to leave.

Who was so very brave

Though he'd lived a crazy man,
When he died he was sane once more. ~ Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
