"If you will practice being fictional for a while, you will understand that fictional characters are sometimes more real than people with bodies and heartbeats"
- Richard Bach
About this Quote
In this quote, Richard Bach is recommending that ending up being absorbed in fictitious characters can offer a much deeper level of understanding and compassion than engaging with genuine people. By immersing oneself in fictional tales, one can get insight into the human condition and feel sorry for characters' ideas and feelings in a manner that may not be possible in daily life. Furthermore, the character's lack of physical form may be advantageous as it permits total focus on their character, experiences, and relationships. Ultimately, Bach is motivating people to check out fiction to develop a higher appreciation for the depth of the human experience.
