It's amazing to me how we simply fall in love with people in books, but we (me at least) aren't nearly as quick to find good in the real people around us. One Year Novel producer Daniel Schwabauer says that we like book people because we see how they react to stress. Through the course of a book, they are put in uncomfortable situations, and their virtues are shown in how they act in those situations.
Do we act as nicely as our protagonists when we go through troubled times? I believe that most of the time we do not. Occasionally we may meet someone who really can handle hard times, but I, for one, don't do very well with day-to-day life, much less real difficulties.
:) Just a thought that I had.
"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." Romans 12:12
~The Dryad
It should be "(I at least)" because "I am not nearly as quick." (I is the subject, me is the object) Heil Grammar!
