Sally Kohn: Do you know what the key difference is between humans and other animals? My guess would be like our awareness of ourselves. She says we can invent narratives that don't actually exist, but sometimes they are kind of just storylines that we come to believe have an existence. Kohn: If you were truly trying to spend your life with one person, what you want to do is build like a partnership with someone.
