Reading is becoming a lost art. Oh we read our phones and handheld devices. But do we read for pleasure? To learn, to get lost in another time? To see how others live, think and feel?
Reading takes you places you’ve never been, and sometimes to places you never want to go. From the Bottom of the Sea to the top of the Moon. And everywhere in between. It transports you to another place and time, to see how it might feel to be someone else. To live different lives without losing what we already have. Can teach you to make what you have better. To see the world through different eyes.
So… I’m thinking as reading has been dropping off in society so has our manners and Humanity. Coincidence? I think not!
We need to get reading again. It keeps us human. Keeps us thinking of others. Helps us appreciate we are all different, yet so alike.
What have you read today? Me? I’m reading a self-help book for which I’m not sharing the title now.
Read it keeps you human.
