Whats the use of Stories that aren't even true? Haroun couldn't get the horrible question out of his head.
Get your head out of the clouds, this is something we tell people to stop them from saying crazy, nonsensical things. Imagination and Belief, Alike everything else in the world they can be lost, and found. Imagination is the notion or idea of something unreal, some people look at is as a bad thing, some people are wrong. storytelling is fueled by imagination, making people think about stuff they have never thought about before. It ensures people that good will always triumph over evil, that there will always be a happy ending. Imagination is fueled by love and is product of belief, Imagination is a Beautiful thing.
Rashid Khalifa is imagination, he is the shah of blah
and the ocean of notions, he brings joy to people threw his stories. However there will always be one who opposes imagination, someone who thinks everyone should think and act the same. This is Khattam-Shud, the prince of silence the foe of speech, he aims to poison the stories, to get rid of happy endings and destroy Imagination. In our lives we all have a choice, to embrace our silliness, our imagination, or fall in line behind Khattam-Shud and think just like everyone else.
