Excuses vs. Benefits of Reading Books

The benefits of reading books avidly are countless. Some people never realised that a person does not live on bread and butter alone. A person primarily exists due to the amount of good knowledge in their mind. The more good knowledge a person possesses the better. An empty mind leads to instant death because a person can live whilst dead – a mobile corpse. Muscle does not make a person strong; eating books makes a person strong. 

Dangers of being ignorant

Ignorant people are more dangerous than poison. By all means, do your best to stay away from ignorant people. If you keep company with ignorant people, you will be like them. If you associate yourself with five totally ignorant chaps, it means you will be the sixth one.

There is factual ignorance (absence of knowledge of some fact), object ignorance (unacquaintance with some object), and technical ignorance (absence of knowledge to do something). Principally, real ignorance is when a person chooses to be incapable of doing or practicing the most crucial things in life. Every one of us must strive to know how to love, understand, think, and reason. Because the root cause of conflict is ignorance. Through the factors of thinking, all humans meet.

The biggest challenge for ignorant people is that they refuse to learn; they feel complacent. They are stuck in one place. They don’t want to move forward. Their minds are dying every day. Ever since, I have never witnessed an ignorant or foolish person who is successful.

The worst danger is intellectual bankruptcy.

Once you embrace ignorance, then intellectual bankruptcy becomes your best companion. Intellectual bankruptcy is a phrase I have coined to define a person who opts to lack the ability to think. Intellectual bankruptcy is completely fatal and gives rise to such serious diseases as low reasoning capacity, poor judgement, lack of emotional intelligence, fear, lack of definite purpose, mistakes, carelessness, extravagance, hedonism, etc.

That is what comes about whenever you stop reading books avidly – it really happens whenever you stop increasing your knowledge incessantly – you become an intellectually bankrupt animal.

The most-read book in the world – the bestselling book of all time

According to the Genesis world record as of 1995, the Holy Bible is the bestselling book of all time, with an estimated 5 billion copies sold and distributed worldwide.

The reason why the Bible is the bestseller and most read book on earth is because people are curious and desperate. People want to know who they are. The Bible talks about nothing that any other book talks about on earth. It gives an account of human creation, what went wrong, and the solution. For more information, it requires you to read the Holy Bible yourself.  For a comprehensive list of books related to the Holy Bible, follow this link: The Holy Bible & Related Books.
