Reading is important because it humanizes our shared experience.
“The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.”

the first one is such a true quote!

the second too
but I have a consideration about this. I’ve always been an hungry reader. I love reading, but really, I own thousands of books!
Well I’m finding so hard to find the time to read these days. I am gettin slower & slower. And one of the causes of this is SL. I spend too much time inside to make literature of my own life and I am not reading as I used to.
And that’s bad.
I feel poor without reading.

Powerful sentiments, such a shame kids are no longer the shining jewels they should be, in a society that seemingly doesn’t care anymore.
