Fiction reveals the truth that reality obscures

Fiction. Or non-fiction? I haven't got anything against non-fiction. I know that there are a lot of people who like reading autobiographies of legendary people & books on events which have turned the world upside down, who look for motivating & inspiring books at a bookstore. So, yes, I respect their choice and I honestly do feel that some non-fictional books are good. 

But, there is this one thing I don't like and that is that most people hate Fiction. They look at fiction as something which was made for intellectually immature people. And that's not true! 

When we read books we want to learn something from them, to gain something. And I very strongly believe that Fiction is that one genre from which you can learn a million things, if you want to. A certain group of non-fiction lovers(or adults) would probably laugh when I'll say that I've learnt so much from a series like Harry Potter! Yes, I have. See, the truth is, most people look at Harry Potter like it's all about flying brooms, swishing wands, crazy spells and some impossible adventures. They say that they can't digest this much of fiction! And that is where they are absolutely wrong. Harry Potter's about wands and brooms and spells, but it is more importantly about the power of love, friendship and the war against something wrong or evil. 

You can learn so many things by looking at the life of another person and that's what fiction offers you. You get to almost live the life of the character. You get to know how they are feeling and you're like, "Oh my god! I felt the same way when..."

The best part of Fiction is that the characters live with you forever. Their words stay in your head. When someone says, "Always", you'll be reminded of this Hogwarts professor who wasn't liked much, but he was a great person who loved someone very dearly and died protecting her only son! You never cry or laugh or feel respite, anger or other important human emotions when you read non-fiction. You do that only when you read fiction. How many times have I cried while reading a book!

So, to conclude, I would like to say that you can learn so much from Fiction. The characters will become your friends! Their words will remain etched on your mind and heart. So, try and look at a work of fiction like it's an autobiography of a person you've never met. You wouldn't be able to stop yourself from exploring more and more!
