The quote suggests that fiction serves a purpose in every society by teaching individuals how to behave in a socially beneficial manner. By immersing oneself in fictional worlds and narratives, people are exposed to various moral dilemmas, character developments, and different perspectives that can influence their own behavior. Through the lessons learned in fictional stories, individuals are ultimately guided towards being 'good' and understanding how their actions impact the larger community. Fiction, therefore, plays a crucial role in molding our understanding of morality and encouraging us to prioritize the well-being of society as a whole.
