Reading and writing are among the most distinctive practices in human history: the study of abstract symbols used to render beliefs, experiences, physical descriptions, theoretical explanations and ideas in books, magazines and newspapers, on billboards and even computer screens.
Think about it. Written abstract symbols used to communicate, inspire thoughts, deeds and passions. Reading forces us to interpret the material world through a non-concrete medium—the written word. These interpretations force an active, even an aggressive use of our minds. This usage increases our appreciation of knowledge.
Reading and writing can be an intense personal experience. Not so sure about the arithmetic.
Inspired by Walter Mosly, author and deep thinker.
