We don’t like writing. We don’t like reading. Yet, we have an opinion about everything.
The average individual attends school for about 12 years in their lifetime. Today, it’s a minimum of 8 years, and a maximum of 21-22 years. During that entire school year, we might look back and try to recall perhaps 3-5 pieces of history, 3-5 pieces of geography, and 3-5 pieces of mathematical formula knowledge. Of course, there are many more, depending on individual interests. This is precisely where interest is the key to broadening our horizons in reading and writing.
It’s generally accepted that those who read books have a broader vocabulary and can use sentences more organized and correctly. Reading and researching the topic will determine the quality of the writing. A piece written without research may be limited in its ability to reach beyond past experiences and personal opinions.
I wonder if the area we call memory is limitless. How much can a person read, how much can they write, how much can they listen to, how much can they watch, touch, and taste? After all, we don’t access information just by reading.
The area of pleasure is a region I’m very curious about. Because the food we eat directly affects the health and productivity of that area. So, is everything perception? So, if what we perceive and record today can be perceived differently tomorrow and stored differently in the same location, isn’t this trauma? Or can we access every reality by reading and writing? Do we know that dessert is sweet because it is sweet, or do we know it because we have tasted and experienced it? There’s a distinction here: after learning about something that exists, do we seek proof of its existence, even though it already existed?
I think we can only reach these questions by reading more.
