Reading makes you see with clearer eyes
and understand the world better. When you can do that, you become
stronger – the feeling you associate with success. But at the same time,
it gives you pain. Within the pages, there’s much suffering, beyond
what we’ve gone through in our finite experience of life. You’ll read
about suffering you didn’t know existed. Having experienced their
pain through words, it becomes a lot harder to focus on pursuing
individual happiness and success. Reading makes you deviate further
from the textbook definition of success because books don’t make us
go ahead of or above anyone else; they guide us to stand alongside
others.
