Reading-The Light and the Dark

Reading a book can be a profound experience. Not only are we learning new things and being inspired, we can also go on adventures with the characters in the book and explore new worlds. We get the flavor of these beautiful places and meet all kinds of interesting people along the way. But there is a shadow side to being a bookworm. We can become complacent. We can use books and stories to avoid connecting with people in real life. We can become content with what we have rather than aiming for higher goals and pushing ourselves to be more and do better. These are traits that help us grow and develop into better people. People that create more than consume. Reading is an amazing experience, but as all things in life-we require a balance between being, knowing and doing. Read responsibly.
