A good piece of fiction, in my view, does not offer solutions.

Good stories do not resolve the mysteries of the human spirit but rather describe and expand up on those mysteries. ↗

I could write stories; I could hide from the world and make my own instead of trying to change it or live in it. I could make paper people and I would love them too; I could make them almost real. ↗

Writers seldom choose as friends those self-centered characters who are never in trouble, never make mistakes, and always count their change as it is handed to them. ↗
