books. what are you really?
We always say that we should read more books, that they are good for us, and that people who manage to read many books deserve admiration. But books themselves are not living beings. And as far as we know, they were not written by divine or higher beings, so it is not automatically guaranteed that reading them will enrich us.
Then you realize that books are simply written by people. We read the ideas, reflections, thoughts, imagination, and entire worlds created by other human beings… and somehow, that helps us grow.
Through books, we have found a way to communicate and connect with one another across time and space. Another reminder that when people come together and share parts of themselves, there is always something meaningful to gain.
Just a few thoughts before bed… Have you ever thought about what it is that you truly love about books?
If you read all the way to the end, thank you. We would genuinely love to hear your thoughts, memories, or feelings in the comments. And if you ever feel like writing to us more personally, you can always send us a letter at:
