Perhaps.

I was watching a film today and it made me wonder, why do we get so attached to the fictional characters we meet? Whether it be films, books, plays, is there something within each and every character that we can relate to ourselves?

This in turn would mean that we all have something between ourselves and every person we meet in reality which is relatable. Whether its a fear of spiders, a longing to be left alone, a need to have someone to love, the avoidance of reality... there is something, always something that we can relate to another. So why then, is there such lack of understanding in society?

Perhaps if we could find the things that bind us to other people, rather than focus on the things that keep us apart, we'd be happier beings, with something more fulfilling in our lives than scorn and hatred. But perhaps that's just a Great Perhaps...
