You can buy many things in this world, but you can’t buy depth of character

If you want to live well. You should cultivate the habit of reading deeply. Because when you make reading an integral aspect of your daily life. You will realise that it takes you away from the masses and this will enable you to be your own person who is well prepared to live your life under your own terms. Now I am not saying being part of the masses is a bad thing. Not at all, because one other aspect of living well requires one to be at peace and harmony with our fellow man….only you must be very careful about being so woven with the masses that its spirit begins to assimilate all of you, till whatever that is YOU disappears completely like a drop of red ink into the infinity of the seas…it is well and fine to get along with others. Only don’t over do it till you end up becoming someone who you don’t even recognize, like or want to be whenever you see yourself in the mirror…and to keep your independence of mind and spirit from the maddening mob reading is crucial. Because it is a sanctuary that you can seek refuge in and the best thing is its portable. As it’s in your mind.

And that reminds me. I like Agnes very much…..if you don’t mind me sharing something very personal with you – I think she has a lot of depth.
