The Purpose of Fiction

Fiction helps us sort out the cobwebs in our head. The Bible may have been the first book ever printed on the printing press when it was invented. Other books soon followed. Stories help us fix conflict in our lives, since fiction is about conflict and the resolution of conflict. Stories are also about karma, what goes around, comes around, which is also something that functions in real life around real people. But anyway, yes, the purpose of fiction is all about making people realize their wisdom. Without fiction, humans would be bored, as fiction is a human creation that we have designed to keep ourselves entertained.
