I then gave it to a friend, thinking she'd like it, too. She couldn't stand it. It was too depressing for her.<BR/><BR/>So, there needs to be a variety of stories for everyone. There are so many different types of people and we all learn a different way. If we only write stories that seem to hit 'big' with a lot of people, then we miss the stories that hit a particular person who needs it so much more than the large mass of people.<BR/><BR/>Fiction can also reach people in a way a true story can't. In a true story, you are sympathizing and feel their pain. In fiction, it *becomes* your pain, since you tend to put yourself into the story. It can also allow you to step back and look at your life in a different aspect.<BR/><BR/>So, I'd say, every story is important, whether of eternal nature or not. Just think what would happen if we could only talk about big and dramatic things. Where would the jokes go and the laughter?<BR/><BR/>We need the little, 'insignificant' things to keep us through the big, dramatic events in our lives.<BR/><BR/>At that's my two cents :)^_^https://www.blogger.com/profile/07241884518222159998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18803034.post-1137003989157735112006-01-11T10:26:00.000-08:002006-01-11T10:26:00.000-08:00Again, a resounding YES!!!
