That's one thing about fiction: you can make the world be the way you think it should be.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Fiction is too beautiful to be about just one thing. It should be about everything.
There's a reason why every human society has fiction. It teaches us how to be 'good', to behave in a way that is for the benefit of the whole community.
Sometimes I think fiction exists to model the way God might think of us, if God had the time and inclination to do so.
Fiction is optimistic or unrealistic enough to demand that there should be a meaningful narrative.
Fiction is sort of a way to set the record straight, and let people at least believe that justice can be achieved and the right outcomes can occur.
Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn't.
Fiction is a piece of truth that turns lies to meaning.
I just want fiction to remain a vital force for entertainment and not just for contemplation. Both things can exist.
Writing and reading fiction is, I think, a human effort to make sense of the world.
I think fiction lends itself to messiness rather than the ideal, and plays well with the ironies surrounding what happens versus what should happen.
