But among us there are people with real stories, for whom our attention is vital. These are war veterans and witnesses, old people in nursing homes. They don't have virtual Stories, although they do have real stories to tell. They cannot draw attention to themselves in social networks, although it is attention that can improve and prolong their lives.
