Do you know the definition of “relax”? I’ve been looking for it everywhere in my books and all the definitions I see are about “stress”. Since when did we strip the leisure from reading books? And since when did having time to read a book of your own choice become a luxury that few young people can afford? Society prizes good education, and in our pursuit of obtaining better education, we seemed to have forgotten the core of it, including the true significance of books. Exploration of different forms of knowledge can no longer be truly free and creative when it has become a competition. My friend, what do you say?
