Told stable stories, generally in a stable culture.

The 20th century is indeed an abberation; the 21st a bigger one.

I suspect what you're calling a stable story are the myths, legends, and lore that comprise a culture?

If so, I would argue those are cultural stories.

I was thinking more along the lines of family stories, personal stories, friends stories and things like that.

If not, then what is a stable story?
