Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.
All significant truths are private truths. As they become public they cease to become truths they become facts or at best part of the public character or at worst catchwords.
Stories are amazing and powerful because they can resonate with people depending on their needs and experiences and speak truths we need to hear in that moment in time.
I would always encourage people of any age not to be so quick to follow other people's truths but to search and follow your own moral code and live by your own integrity and mostly just be brave.
