“Which of us has not felt that the character we are reading in the printed page is more real than the person standing beside us?” - Cornelia Funke

Decryption of quote

Have you ever found yourself lost in the pages of a book, completely engrossed in the world of the characters?

It's a feeling that many of us can relate to, a feeling of connection and understanding that transcends the physical world.

When we read a well-written story, the characters come to life in our minds, their thoughts and emotions becoming as vivid as our own.

It's almost as if they are standing right beside us, whispering their secrets and sharing their struggles.

We become so invested in their journey that we sometimes forget they are merely creations of ink and paper.

But why is it that we can feel such a deep connection to these fictional beings, sometimes more so than the people in our own lives?

Perhaps it is because the characters in a book are stripped down to their essence, their true selves laid bare for us to see.

There are no masks or facades, no pretense or hidden agendas - just raw, unfiltered humanity.

And in that rawness, we find a reflection of ourselves, our own hopes and fears, dreams and desires.

So the next time you find yourself lost in a book, remember that the characters you are reading about are not just words on a page - they are mirrors of your own soul, guiding you on a journey of self-discovery and understanding.
