I don’t think it’s sad at all since it must be fiction and not real.

I don’t believe in fiction and never read any even in school.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Red Badge of Courage?
Catch-22?
Tom Sawyer?
Atlas Shrugged?
Henry V?

None of those?

God the Creator imbued mankind with his essence creating him in His own image. One of those essential aspects was the ability for creation. Creating in writing, or what you call “not real”, is a reflection of God’s aspect.

Of course you don’t think it is sad, you have no idea what you are missing. It’s like someone who has only eaten lettuce saying they are not sad that they have never had steak. They have no way to understand the comparison.

Exactly where did you go to school, such that you never read fiction?!

You therefor claim to have never read Mark Twain, Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Shakespeare (perhaps you made an exception for the histories, but certainly not the comedies). No Aesop's Fables or Homer for you! NoEdgar Rice Burroughs, Edgar Allan Poe, or Lewis Carroll. No Jules Verne, Douglas Adams, Heinlein, or Frank Herbert.

How very sad. As Pooh would say, "Oh, Dear!".
