BLOG POST 8: Bored?
"The earth laughs in flowers"
Dear Readers,
What do you like to do most when you are alone and bored? Collect stamps? Read something? Go for a walk? Cook something? Meditate? Let me know in the comments section. 😉
I love to read. Reading sometimes takes me to another world where I can sympathize with people. I frequently get chided for reading novels. My parents are of the notion that it wastes time. The time I could have used up to cram some more drug pharmacology. But, novels are really hard to resist. Especially if you are at the zenith of it. When all your dopamine is surging to find out what happens at the close. No reader ever, who has completely bonded with the writer and his characters would ever wish the story ended. Some books I have savored the most have been added in my profile. Books that gave me creeps and made me stand up to say "Wow!"
I don't think reading squanders your precious time. It could possibly be one of the best escape from this world of horrid reality. You can get so close to a character sometimes that, you start to see these characters in the people around you. And it can get you to think from different perspectives. When we read, we hold the opportunity to ponder over how we could possibly have reacted in the character's place. This is surprisingly what we must all contain - an ability to view things from another's perspective. Sometimes, it's a temporary escape, to forget all the worries we have and be in a better place under the care of a better stranger.
So, if you love reading, Keep doing it. Because when you are where you love, you are the happiest.
