Narratives are unavoidable but they are simply someone's point of view, or that of societal institutions as tools for control. And certain forms and implements of control have positive and liberating value, and others don't. Society itself is neutral, can be good or bad depending on its forms and objectives. But the fact is those forms and objectives have been hijacked, in the past and at present, by powerful elements in their own selfish and destructive interests. It's a matter of unravelling, analyzing, finding security in insecurity, and having faith that good exists, and is the basis of all creation. The true narrative is, salvation is awareness of the gift of creation of which we are all equally part: there is no other kind.
