Introduction
I have been lately reading a book called ‘Heart of Darkness’ by Joseph Conrad. It is simply an amazing read and I cannot believe how much information and knowledge can be compressed into a 117 pages lol…
I somehow read this book and now am wondering how the continent of Africa works. Especially in the modern age, is racism still that rampant as it was back then. Ofcourse the modernized parts of Africa would be different, but I still wonder how different it is in the rural parts.
Reading and Writing
This one book led me to wonder about a continent I didn’t really care much about… That makes me wonder how reading or consuming affects us…. We consume content in the hopes of an escape from the world, but when we end up truly understanding some of those content we are brought back to the real world…
I love that about literature, how we start something as an escape but our later brought back to reality.
I feel writing is more about discovering ourselves, we discover our own thoughts which we never realise when we think and feel that our mind shows everything to us… Sometimes I start writing a topic and feel like I can only expand on it this much, but how I end up writing the topic surprises me too. How I articulate previously unheard thoughts I feel is wonderful. I cannot truly comprehend how strong the human mind actually is.
Conclusion
You should write more, read more, you read you discover the world and better yourself, you write and you discover yourself..
When I say write I dont mean just write,, it can be any artform of your choice but dont let your mind stay blank. An empty mind is the devil’s workshop. Don’t just consume, elaborate too!
Thank You <3
