Amarinth – I withdraw MY unwarranted, partisan observations.

Thalionyulma – I fear that you have posed quite a conundrum for me here with these very strong and very valid points that may cause me some duress in furthering my argument on this thread. Yet all is not lost for me yet, as you see the debate I am taking up to my sentimentally aroused friends here is of the presumption of a piece of fiction being used as a means of self analysis and growth, in relation to the fictional journeys and achievements of their beloved character of imagination.
Your points of fantasy as a means of a longing for freedom and exploration really blew me away. I am waylaid by that observation, having no will in me to oppose them.

But hey, this view does strengthen my argument on another thread where I am trying to convince people that all thought in terms of a desire is fantasy, all thought derived from that desire, assimilated and noted down is fiction and all fiction derived from that desire is fantasy. So all fiction is fantasy; and fantasy is not a part of fiction but instead fiction is part of fantasy. Fantasy covers thought, dreams, nightmares, writings, verbal tales and realized ideals.

Your personal opinion about fantasy is acknowledged and shared. Dreams are deeds that are not yet realized. But dwell on them too long and you will no longer have need for reality.

Know Peace!

Hither came Carlton, the King, black haired, bronze hued, mightily thewed, sullen eyed. Sword in hand, a warrior, a destroyer, a conqueror. With gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jewelled thrones of the Earth, under his sandalled feet.
