Reading E.M. Forster polishes one's style. (as well as the clarity of thoughts). A superb, unexpected feeling.
**
An acute lack of freedom. All that beauty seen on the two sides of the road is all in vain if my mind is chained to be elsewhere due to an endless, ever-renewing flow of tasks and hings to arrange, due to constant availability to these and chatter and aggressiveness of others for whom I might serve as a tool to reach some petty aim.
***
I read to breathe. To have that access to thoughts that I am denied in my everyday life as they simply cannot be provided by the people I am surrounded with. When not in a book and that way not in conversation with a mind superior to mine, my head is usually crowded with their ideas, which are, with some notable exceptions, not results of honest, insatiable intellectual curiosity, but half-truths and mainstream recipes about how to make life livable. I have nothing to do with such. Consequently, I have no use of the time spent on them, which, sadly, comprises the majority of my time. What I can learn from them is meagre, not worth or had better not be learnt.
It is a stage I once thought to have left behind and never dreamed not only to become permanent but to dominate the picture of my life. |
