Greetings, dear friends!
Each day, we are becoming more and more preoccupied with the new generation of social interactions in the form of internet and social media.
We are embracing modernism as a shelter against our overwhelming ignorance about our own identity and the role we play in this world.
Our lives have been blissfully rendered poignant, because nowadays we do not have time for self-reflection or thinking about the universe as we once used to.
The collective human ignorance is pushing us against the idea of learning and preserving knowledge, so far as most of the common population are involved.
In this dire and forgetful time, we should once again understand why it is important to read books and seek out knowledge.
For one thing, books actually save your time. This universe is infinitely vast and complicated, and our lives also conform to that pattern of complexity.
Contrary to popular belief, when you read a book, you are not spending time.
You are actually saving time. When you read books or embrace literature, you are essentially living a thousand lives and experiencing what thousands of people have experienced before you.
The sum of their knowledge, experience, insight, and feelings will all become yours as you embark on a journey to understand their lives on a deep and intimate level by the magic of literature.
It is true that the more you know, the more powerful you will become. The more you read, the more experienced you will be.
When you read books, you begin to understand what things look like from other peoples’ points of view, and that inadvertently increases your level of consciousness about the world and you will become more sympathetic to other people and their dilemmas.
Literature allows us to consider the effects of some of our actions. We will see thousands of lives, each conscious of their own, making decisions and facing the consequences of those decisions.
This will allow us to have a more mature understanding of the universe and as a result, we will become much more empathetic and benevolent towards other people.
After all, literature is the cornerstone of higher values, as opposed to the modern society where everything is bottled in a measure of money and power.
At the end of the day, a very well-written piece of literature is often better company than having the same monotonous and useless conversations with people who would sooner give up on their dreams and wish for an end to their perpetual suffering than embrace the idea of change and improvement.
Books take you on a journey of self-improvement by learning and understanding to see the world in a better light.
Give yourself the blessing of reading books every once in a while, or if you are fervent enough about the idea of a better life, on a regular basis.
Knowledge is the pathway to understand life and existence on a deeper level of reflection and consciousness.
A BIG HUG!

Dear@chbartist
I remember that we read a book of Franc Bacon, Of Studies, in which the person's life was explained in very detail about the importance of the book. Really used to create a world for us. The people are true that the world is only a pleasure to distant away from the sadness. As it is also that the literature is the mirror of the sadness that the mirror is not to the real. The book is stored because it includes all the experiences of the authors who inspire us to walk on good path. There is no memory of pleasures of knowledge from some knowledge, which will be given the selection of books, because they are asked to make a flat of some books, and for some flaws, they are very difficult to chew some books, and for some cast to be checked in some life.
Thank you

I used to read a lot of books and now read none. I have difficulty holding them with arthritic hands. My eyes are not as good as they were and though I can read a screen well without glasses, small print on books is an issue. I live out of two suitcases now and move frequently, so heavy books are not a good fit for my lifestyle. And finally, I read all day on the internet and really just want to rest my brain after that.
It's funny to be this way since I always had a lot of books before in my life. I guess there is a season for everything and this is the time when I do not read books.
We need to read books and literature so it is necessary that our guidance can be done in the right way, what we have been told in our literature, or whatever we learn from books, is guided by it, and following it, we will go ahead Go.

Hi chbartist, I'm going to tell you why read books. read until the end so you can fully understand why reading can significantly improve your life. Knowledge, improved memory, imagination, focus, reduce stress, develops critical thinking, entertainment, self-esteem, makes you smarter, so on and so on. There is a huge list of benefits that you reap just by picking up a book and reading it, There is no person in the world that has all answers and there is no one completely satisfied with how they live. We all need guidance. We cannot achieve anything alone and without learning from others. Reading is a form of training for living. Life is so complicated and there are countless traps that can be avoided by reading books. Those books contain accumulated knowledge from a countless generation that got that knowledge from many trials and errors that you can easily avoid. If you have any problem in your life, there is a person who had the same problem, solved it and wrote a book about it. Reading can shake up our world view. Not just one book, but one sentence can entirely change how you perceive the world and shift direction of your life. What you once believed can be altered in a moment and you can become a completely different person. And the more you read, the more different ideas float through your mind, the more you start connecting those ideas and drawing a clearer picture of the world you live in. Your knowledge compounds over time and you end up with a great resource to refer to in any situation. To be a little bit poetic: We read so we could live, dream, and connect to the endless stream of human existence and consciousness. Connect to the misery, the grief, and the evil. But also to the wisdom, the compassion, and the beauty. We must read because it's the key to understanding humanity, and nothing is more interesting and complex than that. You know what. I just changed my mind in the middle of the video. I'm going to explain a little bit better those other benefits of reading, which are important, but less important than the main benefit and the core reason that I already explained. So, number one, focus and concentration. Being able to focus is one of the crucial things you need to be successful and as a matter of fact to be happy in todays fast world. Reading improves your focus and concentration because when you sit down and read, your entire focus is invested in a book and by practising to focus, your brain gets better at it with time. Number two is reduction of stress in your life. We all want to be less stressful and enjoy carefree life. Reading slows down your heart rate and eases tension in the muscles. Also, a well-written novel can transport you to other dimensions, letting tensions drain away and allowing you to relax. And third and last on this list is building self-confidence. By reading many books, you communicate better and become more informed about various areas of life. You will always have something interesting to say in conversation and all this translates into higher self-esteem. Now, as always, I have a question for you. What is your favourite book?
Yes I and many others need this to take our part in the world for the greater good. Our Word is our World.
My life! Regards
Thank you very much, you have kept your views in a very rational way.

You are very efficient writer, and complicated talk with large skills also explain in ease and simple language.
I have read a lot of books. There are good books and there are bad books. Reading a bad book is a bigger waste of time than pointless small talk. At least with bad conversation, it has a chance of leading up to something. Maybe not today but one day it might be worth it. A bad book on the other hand, leads to nothing because the words never change.
Reading is a joy and we have to feel . Nowadays social media exploring but what we get in books and literatures we can't know that in social . Literature describe the real mean of life , they gives us internal energy , books present solutions to face problems.
We can get solution of all kind problems in our epics . But the modern generation is not interested to read them and this is very embarassing . Nice @chbartist
Thanks!

Our body is our home, one we care for and feed. As we read good books, we beautify the house and open the doors and windows. A person who reads stops living in a square and begins to see that the world is infinite and has no limits. Cervantes said that he who travels a lot and reads a lot, has lived and seen a lot. And it is that from the reading you can travel, you can imagine not only the places but to know them through the letters. Living feelings that may never live in reality. Reading would be for the brain what exercise is for the body, just as you exercise every day, read daily. In the end, you and those around you will appreciate it. Greetings to you, @chbartist
Excellent article on the importance of reading! Books are our best friends. We can get much from them and connect ourselves with lots of people, writers, places etc. irrespective of boundaries of space and time. We can live in present, past and future without physically going anywhere. A good book is worth more than worldly possessions.
My dad always said that reading books broadened ones horizons on life. The ability to imagine alternative lives can help in promoting the creativity we each need to strive for self improvement and advancement of our goals and objectives.

Reading books is gaining knowledge shaped by the experiences of other people. It gives you a wider view of the world you're living in and it serves as your guide to your life's journey. It challenges your mind of the veracity of what you know about the things around you.

When I had 8 years old, my father challenged read "Don Quixote" by Cervantes. And since then, literature was my passion. With the books I have traveled to places fantastic of the world, I met lovely people, I realized human history, I decode music in poetry and I built, piece by piece, my personality. Books are magic machines and, for that reason, I love them.
Best regards.
Your article is always knowledge-enhancing.
By reading the spiritual books we get wisdom and the mind gets spiritual peace.

A book could be a best friend or a good teacher because while we read a book actually we are not spending our time we are are just gaining experience with out doing anything. We are getting lots of experience which has already experienced by the people. The great advantage of reading books is that we learn lots of things and gain experience without losing any thing and wasting any time.
I must say, Saving Time is a great outlook in regards to encouragement on reading books in one's life. I for one need to get more books under my belt. I have such good knowledge in this house and it is a shame I have yet to read them. Unabridged International Dictionaries of Law and Language and books on Occult Wisdom and Knowledge. I am happy to have read your post as to now want to pick up that book and read! Much Thanks to YOU!
@chbartist, Not completely but in my opinion nowadays Reading books becoming underrated aspect to some extent because now Smartphones taken the place of books, but the essence and the effect which we receive from books cannot receive from any other aspect or platform for sure. Stay blessed.
I think that reading books has many advantages compared to watching video on the internet or surfing net.
Can you please suggest a good book to read.
Thanks for providing sharing productive post.
Hi friend@ chbartist reading habits really good.
It healping thinking skills and knowledge develop better understanding the nature world and many things.

Oh yeah!
When we talk, we already know what we're talking. We sometimes need to listen and read in order to know more.
It will only happen when we're silent or quiet in a silent place.
Its hard to be alone reading now a days because we're bombarded with pleasures and they're too addictive.
We need to force ourselves to be shaken or trembled to wake us up.
Some people experience nervous breakdown before realizing the true meaning and purpose of life after recovery.
I guess we need intense pain in order for us to think and ponder that we're spending our lives with no target.
I do not know how it is in other countries, or the English language, but for me (Dutch people) literature is not the same as reading books. Not every book (most books are not) is literature.
I also doubt if knowing more is always something positive. It can be a burden too. Life is way easier if you do not know everything.
If you read a book, read a real printed one. It is proved the brain does remember it way better as what we read on a screen.

ugh Imma be honest, I hate reading books. Especially when the words are small and it's a decent size book. Why read a book when you can play video games lol?
Really @chbartist we are becoming more and more preoccupied and the new generation is going more and more digital with internet and social media.

After reading this entire content, we now have full experience of what the importance of reading is and how people become legand by reading. By reading book we get through an idea about writer's past experience and we get to learn a lot.
Thank you for giving such a valuable content and your time for us.
Hi friends good article I appreciate your job.

Vital piece, by deciding to do so you already save time without even opening the book!
On a more serious note, I'm glad you shared this, absolutely spot on and I hope it inspires your followers to indulge themselves in a proper piece of literature every now and then.
Smile, I think you really brought good and better Idea for many to follow and emulate them for the whole planet earth to be clean and free from trash. Morealso, I would love some dapps to join the movement as well so we can improve on daily basis
I believe reading make you have more knowledge about something. And as someone has said readers are leaders so reading is a good habit. Even Bill Gates still reads and writes to improve his knowledge. This shows reading can never end. It's just to create the time and habits to read it has really helped me a lot. You guys can check Bill Gates YouTube channel out he recommended some books to read.

Reading allows us to cultivate ourselves. That's why I recommend the book How to win friends and influence of Dale Canargie. It's a bestseller of 37 languages. To all who invest in the Steem blockchain, this book will help you.
Once again, thanks you @chbartist...

Knowledge is power. It gives you an edge even among your contemporaries. When you are knowledgeable, you actions, speech and thought are well guided. But then having and treasuring the right knowledge is paramount. You cant keep reading worthless books and hope to have sound knowledge of worthy things. Feed your mind with the right stuff. The kind of knowledge you have has a way of shaping who you are.
Nice message @chbartist
@chbartist great post. Reading to me is the best thing, reading books whether literature or motivational books enlighten one and make the person knowledgeable more than his or her peers. Reading books will make me outstanding and outspoken because I have more ideas more than someone that doesn't read. Thank you, I will continue reading to widen my knowledge.

Hi @chbartist to be very honest the most precious habit in life is to read the books.When ever we want things to be happen according to us always books provide the right way to walk.The same way we may be victim of ignorance, but ever thinking about gaining from books is only the elimination of worthless objects from our lives.Any way let me to be part of your community

I don't know how you always write post which are in my mind which I love the most, it's my dream to have a small library in my own room,
Because the people who read books live many lives, but the people who don't read books live only single life. Reading books improve you thinking skills, you become more discipline, it also increases your imagination power, communication skill, reading can also helps you to change your body language. Reading is the best habit.
Thank you for such amazing post
And I want to be included in your community
Hi @samirhussain358 , I'm included you in list! But please, read again The important Notes in post! You can see the list in the last post! Regards
Waou...soy nuevo en esta plataforma, y leer tus post es muy gratificante. Lamentablemente estos espacios de reflexión son una burbuja que no lo encuentras a la vuelta de la esquina, a veces nos sentimos extraños de pensar asi y no poder encajar en esa vida agitada y guiada por presiones de la sociedad. Y es verdad, leer es descubrir nuevos mundos y viajar hacia ellos y desarrolla nuestra imaginación al limite. Y aunque ahora, existen nuevas formas de comunicación, creo que leer, es un medió de abstracción del cual debemos encerrarnos siempre un momento.
Un libro es una compañía, nos hace reír , nos hace imaginar, sentir tristezas y alegrías, aparte de dejar un conocimiento perpetuo.
Si bien con la tecnología también se logra, pero nada como un libro original.
Que buena reflexión . Saludos @chbartist
Leer un libro es ampliar conocimientos, elevar el nivel cultural, encontrarnos con nuestra propia identidad y màs aùn visualizar el mundo exterior. Imaginarnos y vivir otras culturas. Ademàs que alejamos la ignorancia de nuestro alrededores y en la medida que trasmitamos lo aprendido, nos convertiremos en buenos comunicadores, contagiando a otros potenciales lectores que muy pronto se veràn persuadidos a emprender nuevas lecturas de libros.
Literature allows you to delve into human feelings and contradictions, allows you to explore, show, Express. Literature apparently takes you out of reality and leads you to other worlds. But in this journey in which you immerse yourself as a writer (or as a reader) is where you find keys to understand behaviors or aspects of reality that you did not comprehend, or look at others in which you had not fixed.
I personally love reading and exploring a wide variety of literature. It helps me calm down whenever I am stressed.

Reading helps me to concentrate and memorize better some things I couldn't do before. It increases my creativity and cognitive development while I concentrate on a certain activity that fills me with valuable information.
@chbartist we must read few books every year
One who reads is far ahead than who does not
La lectura nos abre las puertas del mundo.
Thanks for the motivation! I'll start a new book tomorrow!
Had to Resteem this post. To important not to.
I heard someone say once that we are the person we are today as a result of the books we read and the people we meet (of course this was before YouTube, hahaha). But that thought has always stuck w/ me and I think there's a lot of truth to it.
Books are world of knowledge and reading more books makes us rich by knowledge. I know many people around me who are fond of reading books and they have amazing knowledge about the area in which they have interest. Though I don't get time to read but I want to and hope soon I will select a bunch of books which I will try to read all.
