about the link


So, the link I posted today is about literature and its power. Once someone (probably one of my teachers) said some other person had said that Literature is the food for the soul. YES, IT IS! Because it tells stories of other people, it connects with our soul and it represents a meaning...or many meanings to us, humans, mortal ones, that fail and that succeed and helps us understand better why we act this way or the other and why people around us do the same. ..I remember one character from the book "Inkheart"..a bookworm...called Elinor...she says that she's traveled all around the world and experienced the most fantastic and diverse experiences without leaving her house library. (it is true that she is a little bit toooo addicted to reading..maybe because she getting old and is alone). Many other characters have said that before...and writers as well....but as I consider it absolutely true I had to write it again....maybe to assert once again how literature is important...and is, most importantly, tasty and sour, soft and rough, cheerful and introveted and..and...and...and...and.....so many ands......

Bi, trying not to sound "professoral", I think literature helps us inhabit our own body, and this is what makes us find a meaning in being alive, in experience life.
