The World From The Eyes Of A Book Warmer Is A Paradise
Ever sat down with someone that reads a lot? Like have literally seen most of the books you could ever think of? Well, here's a little experience with someone close.
The world is a mess, everyone sees it so, well, not quite, a book warmer believes that the only messed up shit is our minds. Hanging around people smarter than you really robs off perfectly, just like hanging around people with bad energy. The world is a paradise if only we set our minds and hearts in one place to believe it.
I've sat with this girl that literally reads even while she's one the road. I was most times fascinated by how much time and energy she dedicates to her books, her room was decorated with books, she finds utmost pleasure reading all day. The person in context is my sister, she's a carefree being, she is the typa person that doesn't care about what passes by her, she's only concerned about where she's standing and where she will be heading when she leaves that position. This is the kinda life I've come to emulate. I'm not so observative of my environment because I ignore most of the things around me. I don't plan on keeping track of every bit of a thing because I believe my mind is already crowded enough with much more important stuff, and to be honest, it is. But what makes me and my sister different?
I see a fault but she sees a default.
I can't possibly sit a while and talk to her and not be inspired, her knowledge acquired from so much reading is amazing, but my knowledge from so much experience and act of silence is also pretty influential. I came to understand that the world is basically running on the default from her, the same way it was created to be, is still what it is. What has changed the universe is us, it all boils down to our state of mind.
Take riches for example. A rich life seems like a paradise to poor people, but the truth is, it's still the same default life they are living. They think daily on how to maintain cash flow so they don't go broke and hungry, the poor likeness think the same, just the difference in the figures acquired. If only people would understand that the majority of the problems we face are mind crafted. Nothing matters until one puts his mind to it, so if one should keep saying he's damn poor, he's gonna remain poor, if one decides that he's a sad soul, he's gonna remain sad, if one feels he can't make it, then he won't. Our body subconsciously works towards what we put our minds to, yet we don't actually realize that this is unconsciously happening.
The term "paradise" isn't some paranormal shit, the "para" in the word itself is just there. The more we keep living with the belief that it's some sort of dream land out of the ordinary, some special place after earth, the more time we'd be wasting not enjoying any bit of the amazing defaults of the earth. Yep, paradise is within us, some find it in music, some in dance, some in reading, I find it in someone, someone that when I hold, I feel at peace, but when I'm far away I lose a bit of it, but with training of my mind to understand that she's still closeby if I believe, I get to live everyday life in perfect harmony 😌✌️
I upvoted you, thank you for posting! 👍
In whatever you do winners is always a paradise.
Most rich persons are already broke. They are slaves of the money. Most of them are selfish and greedy. They do not want to give and help others. They want everything for themselves.
But financial richness does not matter at the end of the earthly life. There is really no difference between the two. Different roads to the same destination.
When the earthly life ends, you keep only your feelings/emotions and experiences, and you leave every physical thing.
Both time and money is an illusion. Even death itself is an illusion. What people call death is actually a transition. Death exist only on the physical level, but we are not physical. We are not the physical human bodies. We are just/only using them. We are just/only in them temporarily.
There is no past, there is no future. Only the present, and it is eternal.
Well said! Books aren’t the only way to gain that kind of perspective though. You can gain it from the company you keep or the way you observe those things that pass by. I collect different experiences the way she collects books. Not sure what other people would think but I am happy with the results.
I wonder what kind of books gave her that perspective though.
