About This Quote
The quote above is like a grandparent saying to his or her grandchildren that they should live life without reading about other people’s lives. It’s supposed to be fun, not lecture you about how to live your life. The problem is that the people in their stories were living their lives when they wrote them. If you like what they wrote, great.
If not, don’t feel bad. You’ve at least read about someone else’s life; you can learn from them or find inspiration in them.
