Do you remember any of the bedtime stories from our childhood? Or the Aesop's fables? What effect did they use to have on you? There were times when fantasy and fiction were not the way as we know it to be today. There used to be dragons and talking animals in faraway lands, where would just drift off while reading and battle the dark evil spirits along with the characters of the story itself. The process of learning through fantasy starts at a very young age where children are given storybooks and fables to read.
But in order for the fiction to do its part a person has to be imaginative and has to have a belief that impossible exists. A person's imagination contributes a lot to their sanity and happiness. No matter how hard we try to deny the fact, our realities and our fantasies complement each other because one makes the other far better and far more beautiful.
The fantasy world gives us hope. The hope to go on and the hope to keep moving and the hope that good exists in this world. Fantasy and fiction books attract us so much as an adult too because they are very close to reality even if some people think they are not. They teach us about our everyday lives and also warn us about our futures and take us away from our pasts. They also give us a whole new outlook on life just as John Van Geem does in his fantasy novel, Ellipse (978-1952263026), where he depicts the scenes of a village where strange events take place due to an unworldly invasion of time and the young man starts his journey towards the greater achievements.
Every time that evil tries to mess up with the good in a fantasy world, it proves one thing that the good always wins no matter how much time it takes to do so. This thing about the good things winning is exactly what gives us hope. The hope that everything will get better with time. Our fantasies teach us how to appreciate the extraordinary things in our mere ordinary lives. Reading fiction novels and stories is one of the best ways to become more captive towards the ideas of extraordinary in this world. Every good fiction and fantasy novel has its roots in reality and we can never avoid mingling with the thoughts of the author if we share the same thoughts and ideas as them too.
Bravery is not conditional with strength or power. Bravery is in our minds. If you do not think you are brave enough and courageous enough to do something you, you would never be able to pull it off no matter how big or small you are in size. We never know if being powerful is always a good thing or not. With power comes responsibility and if responsibility is not dealt with in the right way, it can cause disruptions beyond your imagination. Psychological experts have proven that fairytales have great impacts on people’s minds as kids and the kids who are associated with books in their early stages of development grow up to be better individuals with visions and wisdom. While most of the parents think that giving their kids access to fairytales and children's books will make them believe in the unrealistic stuff, it is very much possible that you are restricting their minds of imaginative skills.
