Fictility

The Concept of Being Fictile
- by Phoebe Lee Matthews

(A Friend...?)
Fictility is, in large ways, a benefit to all humankind. Without flexibility, there will be no change. And without constant change, there will be no progress. Aside that, fictility contributes to blossoming and succesful social lives. Communication would not just be streamed into categories of conversation in accordance to groups with singular, common interests. In presence of fictility, there will be intersections of interests; for example - healthy marriages, or crossovers, of the arts and sciences. Come to think of it, though it may sound crazy, fictility inclines people to be more open and tolerant to new and different concepts or ideas. Apart the things I've mentioned, it also promotes excellence. People would be delving into more than just one field of expertise, as they would be "versatile" enough to do so. Countries greatly profit from such; so inadvertently, fictility affects the world.

(Or Fiend...?)
Amidst all the wondrous things that fictility has got to offer, one question arises. Does being fictile, compromise who we are? More often than not, some would argue that the concept of being fictile would deter us from being true to ourselves; in terms of views, values, culture, beliefs and ideas. Would fictility cause us to drop our standards in order to accept another? Would it cause abandonment of culture, to embrace all?Some may say that it is a direct opposition to the concept of self-expressionism; arguing that it hinders an individual from being his or her true self, as there would be too many things to consider.

As an attempt to answer this befuddling question, we'd have to view the deal in 2 extremes. Fictility to a certain extent is definitely important, in order to acquire the much needed balance or equilibrium that we lack today. But fictility in excess, might cause the eventual demise of human variation. When we are ourselves, we vary. We're different. Fictility may (more often than not) influence us to be more saturated to the common norm. Hence, in doing so, we're unintentionally abdicating our usual bizarre multifariousness.

(Conclusion...?)
Fictility: Good or bad?
I don't know, really. It's alright to a certain extent, I suppose. And everything in excess, although good, is poison.
You decide.
