Fantasy is a tonic for the soul that has vitalized literature and art throughout history. While children openly enjoy fantasy, adults also take pleasure in overt or covert fantasy, as seen in their love of mythology and belief in miracles. Fantasies humble people about their limitations but also give them hope through supernatural feats, freeing their souls and allowing them to live with greater vitality. For this reason, biographies of saints containing miracles are widely read with love and reverence, and people of different religions and cultures practice remembrance through various forms advocated by spiritual leaders.
