Random thought from substack I don't like pity. ግን

''ማንበብ  አልወድም፣ ቤተ መፅሀፍት  ይጨንቀኛል፣ መፅሀፍ ጭራሽ አይጥመኝም... I don’t  read at all ''

ምናምን ከሚሉ ሰዎች በላይ pity ማደርገው ፍጡር የለም።  እነሱ ራሳቸው ይጨንቁኛል። 😂 ለ ቃል ምርጫዬ ይቅር በሉኝ  ግን  I think It’s a stunted existence. እድገቱ የቆመ፣ በራሱ ግቢ ውስጥ የታጠረ አስተሳሰብ። I'm always wondering እሺ you don't like reading... ይሁን።  But then what do you actually do to broaden your thinking scope? How do you challenge your own biases? Where do you go to learn things that exist outside of your immediate, physical reach? How do you even form an opinion በነገሮች ላይ? Do you scroll?  ወይስ የሆነ ሰው በተናገረው ነገር or የሆነ ሰው form ባደረገው opinion ተስማምቶ እንደ ቦይ ውሀ በተቀደደው መፍሰስ ነው?  I am aware that there's more to life than የቀለም ትምህርት and ህይወትም በራሱ ትምህርት ቤት ነው። But that's not what I'm talking about. አንዳንዴ there are certain things that require ወረቀት ማገላበጥ አይደል? ከሰዎች ጋር የሚያከራክሩን ፣ ሀሳብ የሚያፋጩ ፣ ለ አዳዲስ ሀሳቦች or inventions በር የሚከፍቱ ... I believe books are the tools that sharpen the mind for the debates and creativity...There's so much to read ደሞ እኮ!! There is so much to explore, so much to lose yourself in, and so much beauty in the struggle of understanding a complex idea! ማለት what do these people even talk about with their people? የውይይታቸው substance ምንድነው?  what makes the conversations interesting? What new things do they talk about when they meet people? I am genuinely curious to know ስለ ምን እንደሚወራ in their friend groups.  Is there truly nothing more to discuss than the trivialities of the day? ስለ ማን ምን አለ? ማን ጋር ስንት ገንዘብ አለ? ማን ከማን ጋር ነው? "ማን አሸነፈ?" የሚል  ወሬ ብቻ?ወይስ Is the dynamic just one person talking where the rest of the group collectively sits and listens while they consume whatever important thing or garbage the other person says? የሆነ ሰፈር ግድግዳ ላይ እንደተለጠፈ ማስታወቂያ፣ መቼም የማይለዋወጥ፣ የማይጠይቅ፣ የማይመረምር የውይይት አይነት?  At this point, I’m convinced that for some, the greatest challenge isn't learning something new, but surviving the terrifying silence that follows the shallow talk finally dying out.Imagine a life lived in the shallows because the deep is too much work to navigate. ማንበብ ሙሉ ሰው ያደርጋል። Intellectual Passivity is not a flex. ሳbeh
