Fiction is a wonderful vessel for conveying emotion. There is humanity in emotion. We connect with others, walk a mile in their shoes. We gain empathy. We laugh, we weep, we hide under our covers in fear. Fiction helps us explore emotions from the safety of our couch. It's cathartic. It's a release. It helps us to see the other side of an argument. We learn to love people who don't exist except in our minds.
