Fiction vs. Nonfiction Writing (Is Fiction Just Better?)

🌕Sometimes we need to hear the obvious: Fiction is more popular than nonfiction – Writing philosophical fiction is how you bring philosophy to the masses

Literary devices, specifically allegories, allow you to bring moral, political, and overall philosophical meaning to your writing. Much of the morals we follow today were brought to us by the media in stories, books, movies, and any other way people share the deeds of various characters.
