stalhandske 31-Dec-21, 21:49	This is a play with words and their meaning. Fiction just means that it is dissociated from fact. Within the realms of the fiction it can be either true or false, but in relation to the real world it is - simply - fictitious, even though it might come true. Parts of it may or may not agree with the real world. If it doesn't, it isn't a lie but fiction. How love overcoming boundaries (which it certainly can do) is related to this is beyond me. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is certainly a fictitious story, but one that could easily have been reality at the time. So, some fiction may be models of reality. Shakespeare's ingenuity is precisely an example of this.
