Read More, Think More, Write More

I didn't get it when people said, "If you read more, you'll know more and think more." It sounded a bit silly. But then I started reading and writing a lot, things changed! It was like all these empty spots in my head started filling up with the perfect words. Suddenly, I could say things I never knew how to do before.

One such example is when I understood the difference between detachment and resentment.

See, detachment is when you're so stable inside that outside stuff doesn't shake you up. It's like having super-strong roots in the ground, so no matter how hard the wind blows, you don't fall over.

But resentment? That's this unpleasant, unhappy feeling you get when you give up on something you wanted really bad. It's like you're telling yourself, "Fine, I didn't want it anyway!" but deep down, you're still mad about it.

Now, if I hadn't come across some article talking about this, I probably wouldn't have known the difference. And if I didn't know, I'd just be stuck in this fog, you know? Not getting why I feel the way I do sometimes.

It got me thinking – how many other blank spaces are in my brain, just waiting for the right words to come along? It's kind of exciting. Every time I pick up a book or read something online, I might find another missing piece to the puzzle of... well, me!

So yeah, turns out those people were right. Reading more does make you know more and think more. But it's not just about cramming facts into your head. It is what we were taught during our childhood.

It's about finding those "aha!" moments when suddenly something clicks, and you see yourself and the world a little clearer. And the cool thing is, you never know when it's gonna happen.

Maybe the next page you read will have that one sentence that makes everything make sense. Or maybe you'll write something down and think, "Whoa, did that just come out of my brain?"

So here I am, still exploring, still filling in those blanks. Because now I get it – not knowing stuff isn't just about being clueless. It's about missing out on all these amazing ways to understand things. And who wants to miss out on that, right?
