Why study? Because reading books is a way to have a conversation with someone who is higher than you. Among the many books, although good books and garbage coexist, the classics that have been precipitated over the years are more worthy of our in-depth reading. These books have been recognized by the sifter of history, the remarkable people, so the amount of junk in them has been greatly reduced. Through reading, we are able to get in touch with the minds of those who are better than us, which will undoubtedly push us upward.
Rather than being immersed in the circle of friends all day long and surviving with people who have similar cognitions, reading gives us the opportunity to get in touch with a wider world. When we only read the opinions and ideas of those around us, our cognitive scope is confined to a small space. However, the wisdom in books can break through this limitation and give us the opportunity to think at a higher level.
One striking phenomenon is that people who don't read tend to take pain, anger and struggle for granted. However, these emotions are not necessarily present. Throughout history, countless predecessors have experienced the difficulties we face and studied them in depth. By reading books from different schools of thought, we can draw wisdom from them, thereby reducing inner pain, anger, and entanglement.
Reading is a very low-cost and rewarding investment. It gives us the opportunity to have a conversation with someone who is higher than ourselves, and that conversation will continually guide us upwards. Although reading books does not guarantee that fate will be kind to us, it can make us better able to cope with the challenges of fate.
So let's not limit ourselves to the fragments of information on the web. If you want to enrich your inner world, reading is undoubtedly an excellent choice. I hope that everyone can make their life and spiritual world more colorful through reading and hard work.
