Honestly there's innumerable works of fiction that'd be better for deriving meaning, morals, and advice for navigating life's complexities.
The key is to embrace that it's fiction. it doesn't need to be literally true for a piece of writing to be used that way.

I learned this in 8th grade when my teacher had us read the book The Hatchet and treat it like the bible.... which was to interpret the text and find life lessons in it. Great teacher. I still use what I learned from her class.
