The Pleasure of Reading....
Reading empowers the reader with all kinds of information and facts. It enlightens, enriches and educates. And also, it gives everyone enjoyment which lasts a lifetime. Nothing in this world can give us more satisfaction than reading. Books must be one's best friends. That should be taught right from one's childhood.
A common saying, which I would like to share with you is that the journey of a lifetime starts with the turning of a page. It is a form of entertainment that does not have any side effects. But now a days, instead of reading books and refreshing our minds this generation is immersed in Facebook and other media.
The second main reason, why reading books is important is that it broadens one's outlook an enlightens mind. While reading books we lose ourselves in them and also, we find ourselves there. Every form of literature sometimes reflect our ideologies and belief. In fact, life is impossible without reading. Books are the destination and the journey.
The advantages once received from reading remain within us and will be engraved in our minds. Reading gives us spiritual and intellectual pleasure. Books are the source of our happiness. We cannot buy happiness,but there is something that we can. We can buy book, which will lead a reader to the world of happiness and joy.
For students, reading seems to be a compulsion but it is inevitable and as time passes by, we will feel it as a past time, but it is a pleasure for many. We can't find the unique pleasure we experience while reading , in no other fields. Beauty of nature and pursuing hobbies other than reading cannot give us this pleasure. That is why books must be our best friends. They share our joys and sorrows. Our human friends may leave us some day or the other. But books remain with us...
Reading helps us to understand our own identity and to fine tune it. It has the power to inspire us. It also helps us change our view of the outside world. Reading is also described as dreaming with eyes wide open. But instead of reading, the world is now immersed in and is finding pleasure in the social media. This has to be changed.
