“Fiction is the lie through which we tell [know] the truth.”
~ Albert Camus
The conscious mind wants to know why “something” happened, the meaning behind it, despite rarely coming up with an answer. The deeper you search and question, the more the truth becomes ambiguous, convoluted, and evasive. At my age, I either take that “something” at face value or write a story about it—fiction of course.
