Without Learning, Life is Not Worth Living

I am a self-professed bookworm. I love reading. I just can’t stop reading.

At times when I can do without play, I can’t do without knowledge. My brain needs constant nutrition to ensure it feels alive. And books give me insight, while insight sets me thinking.

Which makes me wonder how some people can go about their lives without ever embracing the vast amounts of knowledge available out there? Why forgo wonderful chances to learn from what’s going on around you? Why stay in the mill?

There needs to be constant movement out of your comfort zone. The moment you’re too comfortable, it means you’ve got the hang of things, and your learning curve is starting to taper off.

Perhaps, it seems masochistic to keep subjecting one’s self to the torturous path of beginning baby steps at learning a new thing, but it is precisely these baby steps that set us down the path of greater adventures!

One needs to uphold a passion for the unknown - and a capacity to absorb the open-ended. Without learning, living becomes a sheer drone of the neverending story.
