And maybe nothing is farther from fiction than philosophy, which thinks that is saying something about the world, which is trying to enlighten the world instead of mainting the mistery where fiction and life dwell.

Your problem is not fiction, it's your idea of philosophy. You oppose it to life, feel encage within it and try to figure a way to escape from it. You thought about writing fiction, but you cannot see any issue, philosophy is still on this way.

But every serious philosopher - I mean serious about life, not philosophy - knows that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy. Philosophy is fiction. And good fiction, as well as good philosophy, enlight a part of the mystery.
