Fact or Fiction?

I've been reading too many stories recently, and it's got me thinking. Are these fantasies as good as reality? Is "good" the best way to compare them, or is "right" a better measure? They certainly can FEEL better, because they can have satisfying endings, they can appeal to the adventurer and the warrior-protector in me, they can "fulfill" my selfish dreams in the work of a moment or the flip of a page... and the list goes on. And I've concluded this: We can learn from a tale, but we cannot LIVE from it.

"Hallelujah, He has found me-

The One my soul so long has craved!

Jesus satisfies all my longings,

By His blood I now am saved."
