    Some people say that if you haven't read a book for a long time and you don't feel anything, it's dangerous, because reading a book means that you haven't compromised with life. When I saw this sentence before, I thought it made sense, reading books is better than watching some TV series, after all, books, especially classic books, are the crystallization of the ideas of excellent writers. Later, I thought that the reason why people watch TV instead of reading books is probably to fight loneliness.

    Books are silent dead things, not everyone can hear the author's voice, sometimes people prefer the excitement of TV dramas, after all, there are handsome men and beautiful women who can satisfy aesthetics, after all, they can hear familiar language, after all, actors have the tension of performance, we don't have to imagine, to find, to think, we can know what they are expressing.

    Reading is different, reading a book is a lonely thing, you can only read it by yourself and experience it by yourself. Its loneliness is not only that it cannot be expressed in words, that it cannot make movements, but also that everyone understands it differently. Many times, people have a feeling that they can only understand the ineffable, not all understandings can find the right words to express, and poor words cannot express rich emotions, which is why the more you read, the more lonely you feel.

    The wiser the more humble he is, just as when the bucket is full, it does not make a sound when it is held, but when the bucket is only half water, it makes a sound when he walks. When we only read a little bit of a book, we will be complacent, we will talk about it, we will have a desire to express it, and we wish that everyone knew what kind of sublimation my thoughts have been made recently, and we will be able to sell literature.

    But the more you read, the more you will find that the world is far wider and deeper than you imagined, and the more you will find that you know too little, you need to learn too much, and you will no longer easily promote your ideas, because you have self-knowledge. Of course, there is another situation, the more books you read, the more profound your thoughts become, and the more you will see the essence through the appearance, but not everyone can reach this state, which means that you are not understood by ordinary people.

    Not being understood is a trigger for loneliness. It's cold in the heights, you can't understand my thoughts, you can't understand what I'm talking about, and when I want to talk or communicate with you, I throw out a meme that you can't pick up. I want to talk to you about Nietzsche, about Shelley, but you don't know who they are.

    I saw a particularly interesting paragraph in the book and sent it to you, but you didn't know that the joke was **.

    Books are the ladder of human progress. Every great work is accompanied by loneliness. If there is no lonely precipitation, how can a writer have a way to remove the impurities of impetuous life, refine the most refined and precious thoughts, and put them into words and pass them down.

    It is normal for you to become more lonely the more you read books, because we are originally lonely, but the words arouse your hidden sorrows.

    First of all, it is related to the environment of reading, generally when we read, we read in a quiet environment, although this environment will make people more concentrated, but a long time of silence will cause a sense of loneliness in our hearts.

    If you read in a noisy environment, then there will be a contrast between the impetuous atmosphere of the people in the environment and the inner peace of mind when you read, and this contrast will also make you seem out of place with the surrounding environment, once you can't integrate with the surrounding environment, then the feeling of loneliness will naturally arise.

    The second is that as we know that reading is a way of growth, when we read, with the increase in the amount of information we obtain, the process of thinking and the author's collision of ideas is like communicating with another person, and the sense of substitution of this exchange often immerses us in this kind of thought, so that we are slightly detached from reality, just like when we read and appreciate ancient poems, the artistic conception of ancient poems will naturally bring us into the ancient scenery, so that our thoughts are synchronized with the ancientsAnd some people feel that they can't communicate with real people because of these feelings of detachment, that there is a generation gap between you, or that they are derailed from this society.

    Of course, there are some people who are proud because of the improvement of their thinking when they are studying, and they feel that they have mastered some knowledge that others cannot compare, and they are a level higher than others, as if everyone else is a fool, and they are the most unique and advanced people in modern society, so it is easy to be estranged because they look down on the people around them, and the loneliness of no one understands and is unaccompanied.

    The more I read, the more lonely I felt, and I remember having had such an experience. It was during my junior year of high school, and it was particularly decadent. I had to brush a lot of questions every day, but during that period, I couldn't read a single question. When I saw stacks of test papers, I just wanted to tear them up.

    But during that time, my teacher gave me a lot of books to calm my emotions. Those books enriched my time. Foreign classics, war and peace and Anna Karenina. Foreign writers include Leo Tolstoy and Hugo.

    That's probably the time I've been reading the most, meeting a lot of people, and seeing a lot of scenes. Some people might think that's great, but I don't think so.

    My real feeling is that I am very lost, and after reading the thick books, my real feeling is very lost, extremely lost. The life described in the book, I remember most clearly is the little woman, in the last century in England, that social system used to be very attractive to me, so the four sisters waiting to marry in that society, and their family life scenes left a deep impression on me.

    However, I slowly realized that no matter how deep my impression was, it was the old times, the people and things I had never seen again, and there was not even a trace of historical relics to inquire.

    That feeling of loneliness is revealed, an indescribable feeling. It is clearly recorded in the book, but it can never be seen at all, only through imagination.

    Many times, reading a book is like having a conversation with a person, and the more you read the book, the more lonely you feel, because you have been listening to what the writer wants to tell you, but you have not had the opportunity to see the scene depicted by the writer in person, and you can't let the writer know you, which is probably the loneliest place of reading a book.

    A person who is obsessed with books is destined to be lonely. Because he or she has little time or interest in socializing. But the hearts of book lovers are rich, and reading is the reader and the author "talking" and "interacting".

    From this point of view, the more you read, the more lively your heart becomes, and you won't be lonely, "The book has its own ** house."", "There is Yan Ruyu in the book", which is indeed the case. Read more "inspirational" and "spiritual" books, and you will have endless fun.

    When we read more books, then our knowledge and wisdom are also growing, but the people and things around us have not caught up with the speed of your progress, so you will feel less and less common language with the people around you, so you will feel lonely, and this loneliness is also an active choice, the more lonely we can think more independently, without being affected by anything, reading is like climbing a mountain, when we climb higher we can be the top of the mountain, a glance at the mountains.

    In this society, there are many people who are preaching the uselessness of reading, in fact, I don't agree with this argument, a good book has a lot of knowledge that will allow us to grow, and there are also a lot of experiences worth learning from the ancients, reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles, in order to make our lives more meaningful, all those around us who can achieve great things, are basically smart people who often read, for example, Ma Yun, the founder of Alibaba, often chooses to read when he is free, And Yu Minhong, the founder of New Oriental, will read several books every month.

    Sometimes the more you read the book, the more thoroughly you will see the world, you will no longer care about a lot of people's feelings, you will not deliberately wronged yourself, and you will live more clearly in life, at this time your behavior will make others incomprehensible, because you are no longer at the same level, at this time you will slowly choose to be lonely, because the people who can finally reach the top of the mountain must be a minority.

    The loneliness brought by reading is not boring but a kind of contemplation of life, for example, if you hold a book in the corner and read it with relish, you don't need others to understand you, you will immerse all your thoughts in this book, you will not care about the ridicule of others, you will slowly comprehend the deepest operating laws of this world, you will find that the occurrence and end of everything are traceable, reading does not make us superior, but it makes us have different insights and views on life.

    It is true that we will become more and more lonely, but we can still have a certain sense of accomplishment in loneliness. For each of us, as long as we grow up, we will indeed have a certain sense of loneliness with a smile.

    Books are the ladder of human progress, reading is the best way to condense thousands of years of science and technology and culture of human beings to quickly learn, long-term reading can cultivate body and mind, gain knowledge, and broaden their horizons. The more you read, the better your mentality, he will not make people lonely, on the contrary, through reading, you can think deeply and guide everyone to think about problems and discuss problems, and you can meet more like-minded friends. Nowadays, a popular community activity on the Internet is that everyone reads a book together, and then shares reading notes with each other, so that the "output + input" reading method makes the learned knowledge more solid, and also avoids dead reading.

    It is also understandable why some people think that reading too much will become lonely. I have friends who are also top students in my class and like to read. This is obviously a very good habit, but because of the jealousy of others, he was called a "nerd", and in the long run, people felt that the nerd was lonely and no one wanted to play with him.

    And he himself has changed from cheerful and optimistic at the beginning to taciturn. But it's not the fault of reading.

    Some rumors in society also make people feel that reading is useless, they say that "if you read so many books, the salary is not the same as that of migrant workers". This is a distorted value and it is absolutely wrong to measure the value of knowledge or even the value of a person in terms of money. The knowledge you have learned from reading is your own, and neither rich nor poor can take it away.

    Don't be influenced by negative information in society, avoid those fast food literature, read more books, and read good books. From fragmented reading to systematic reading, one day you will find that these small knowledge will become your bridge to the avenue, you will meet more friends on this avenue, and reading will not make you lonely.

    Everyone is an individual and is born alone. It's like one of Márquez's most famous works, One Hundred Years of Solitude. really talks about the loneliness that can't be discharged and can't be solved in the bottom of people's hearts.

    Reading does not make people lonely, but more and more learn to talk to themselves, listen to their true inner thoughts, and no longer greet others, then people will gradually become lonely. But loneliness is not a good thing. In this impetuous society, people seem to have not been alone with themselves for a long time, and the ubiquitous social network information bombardment, people can contact and meet each other anytime and anywhere.

    In the past, the carriages and horses were far away, the letters were very slow, and the days when there was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime were gone. Loneliness has become a very precious state. Therefore, people began to advocate reading, and reading is the process of standing on the shoulders of giants and then understanding themselves little by little.

    Who I am, what my meaning is in this world, what I want to live in life, no one can give you an answer because everyone is struggling for themselves, and everyone wants something different. Although the answer may not be obtained in the book series, it is closer to our own hearts in the process. Because in fact, the real answer lies in our hearts, and reading is just a way for us to recognize ourselves.

    Since you don't know what you want, start with what you don't want. Read books, read more books, read good books. In this way, you will not be afraid of loneliness, but later you will enjoy loneliness, knowing that loneliness is the normal state of life, so companionship is particularly valuable.

    Even if you want to be lonely, you should cherish your companionship, after all, people live for a lifetime, in fact, a person's life is too hard.

The lower the education, the more people look down on knowledge, in fact, this mentality is a bit like the psychology of saying that grapes are sour if you can't eat grapes. I believe that many people have met people with much lower education than themselves, and generally such people like to talk about academic qualifications and the uselessness of knowledge in front of themselves. In fact, this is a kind of jealousy in the heart that others have not had a high degree of education, a kind of self-weakness that they are not able to get a high degree and gain more knowledge, because people with low education are generally not exposed to much knowledge, and at the same time they feel that knowledge has not brought much help to themselves, so it is easy to be jealous, but it may not really be for knowledge, and look down on knowledge. >>>More
