There is frequently asked question.What would the world be like without books?The very question is absurd and depressing.It is always said that the latest technology signals the demise of the book.Decades ego, it was thought that the radio would replace books.The fear has persisted throughout with the invention of television and internet.But scenes like that of Cantonese man reading the book negate the notion that modern advance pose a thread to reading.Books are themselves a form of technology that is spread over the pages and makes us delve into the complexities of life.
Literature is the story of human.It is the record of who we are,where we come from and where we going.Books make us travel at large.During our journey,we are connected with humanity.We identify ourselves with the character we meet and learn weather we love,loathe,fear or flatter.They help us comprehend our faults and aspirations.They tell us who could we become if we are not careful.Reading provider the deepest connected to the morals that make us human, and part of a larger society.
Books are a source of comfort for us.They are a safe shelter.Throughout human history man has found peace in the written works.Books are bridges through their pages we makes our contact with society.Those who read more are better prepared to face the world than those who don't read.
Though reading a book connects us with humanity,it is also the last truly private act in a world that has become too public.As nourishment for the mind,it is show food in a world given over to fast food.Blogs,text messages and e-books,bring relevance and instant gratification,much as newspapers and magazines do.But however important such forms are,they endure only as long as the stuff they are printed on.The comfort of books defy time,and break borders.
Books offer other types of pleasures as well.The joy of their touch,sound and fragrance is immeasurable addition on it.The sharing of a book with friends is still another form of joy.Libraries are the evidence of grandeur of a civilition.
It is important that we work to give every person the opportunity to enjoy books as shelters,sustenance, and road forward.To imagine a world with out books is to imagine a world without thought, feeling, compassion, history, or voice.
