Explanation:

In these lines, the speaker establishes the criteria that are necessary for creating lasting fiction. The speaker tells us that writers need to remember that being afraid is unnecessary and damaging, and that they should not focus on this. Instead, they should focus on including some of the "truths" that are universally applicable to humans. These include tales of love, honour, pity, pride, compassion and sacrifice.
