 Its value is in exercising the parts of us that data can't reach. Imaginative literature is a gym for empathy, letting us live other lives. It builds critical thinking by navigating complex, ambiguous narratives. Most importantly, it expands our emotional and moral vocabulary, giving us the language and nuanced understanding to grapple with human experience, societal problems, and existential questions in a way that straightforward reports simply cannot. It doesn't give answers; it deepens the questions.
