people who read don't read cause they're smart, they're smart cause they read. if it wasn't for books we'd still be in that areas of low cultural development.
I have internet access and tv and a million other ways of obtaining information but reading a good novel is so much more than that. It's one of the most simple,greatest pleasure there is. you don't need batteries or anything. and you can completely lose yourself in it.
that's what's so wonderful about story-telling.
and yes, there are many ways to absorb information and visual is only one of them but that's not what your secret says.
I think what you're trying to say is that society looks down on people with other learning style besides visual and that's understandable, but what your secret is doing is actually being rather patronizing and offensive.
and I think you haven't quite gotten reading. I mean, reading is for much,much more than simply obtaining information. that's just a benefit.
and it's one thing to not like reading but what about story-telling?
you're putting the whole activity down as if it wasn't important and it is what I consider one of the defining acts of humanity.
and if you don't get that, if you don't the value of it, then ,no,you're not smart.
OP
(Anonymous) 2009-06-25 01:47 am (UTC)(link)The art of story telling isn't just limited to the medium of text, and I appreciate good storytelling as much as any other person lurking around in fandom secrets. And while a good story is a good story- no matter what medium it is expressed in, I personally understand stories told through visuals and/or audio better than those told through words, and thus, get a greater value out of those in most cases.
and I think you haven't quite gotten reading. I mean, reading is for much,much more than simply obtaining information. that's just a benefit.
For many years I thought that I didn't "get" reading. I thought that maybe some marvelous novel or short story would come along that would change my life and turn me into a reading maniac. As you probably guessed, despite all of the reading that I've been forced to do in order to maintain my high grades... that never happened. I've now accepted that the activity itself is just as much of a hobby that I don't enjoy as playing soccer or cooking is.
It's one of the most simple,greatest pleasure there is.
Different people find different activities to be pleasurable... and I personally find reading not only to be boring but painfully exhausting. An activity that I find to be "one of the most simple, greatest pleasures" would be something such as drawing or sewing... and just as as you feel with reading, I feel that I "can completely lose myself" in those two hobbies as well.
