Books
I really don’t like it when some people say that the people
who read books are boring people, that writers are boring
people.
It bothers me when they say that the most creative people on
earth are boring.
I don’t know about you, but I really don’t know
anyone who can change my whole perspective on life in different
combinations of only 26 letters.
Not only that, books and poems have been around since 2000BC, and
for people to still find something to write about is astonishing,
the ideas are endless.
Books are also magical.
They take you to a whole different world, they play games with
your emotions, they make you smile, they bring you anger and
pain, and give you the kind of joy that real life
can’t.
They make you insane, in a good way and sometimes in a bad way,
but that’s what a good book does.
But in society, people who do sports are considered as
'cool', and those who read are the nerds, the ones who
need to ‘get a life’.
However, in sports, you play a game, a game that if you practice
long enough, you can nail it. And then what? Maybe
you’ve got a crappy position in a game, so you try harder,
until you move up. But then when you’ve got to the top,
then what? You continue playing that same old game?
Over and over and over and over again.
Every weekday, or every weekend, or maybe just once a week.
But you’re going to get bored of it.
Sports have already been created, and there’s rules that if
you break, you’re done with and there’s only so much
you can do, there are limits.
But books… books are endless, they can literally create a
new world within your mind and there are no limits to your
imagination.
So I have a question.
What do you think about books?
