Once you know how too, nothing can cage you and the world becomes a complex yet solvable problem. But if a person is forced to exist in this world without ever learning to read, he will have to live life never really being enough and the world will always be too much for him. This is because the only real weapon allows us to defend ourselves is the sharpness of our mind and our ability to adapt to change by learning from the example of our predecessors. image credits: iStock Reading allows you to learn from the wisdom and experience of others because we’ve only gotten this far because we’ve read and understood the adventures and experiments of those that documented their knowledge for us. Only by reading can we stand on the shoulder of giants. And so, if a person can’t understand the medium they’ve documented their thoughts and discoveries in, he or she will ne...
