I love to read and analyze books about art because I contemplate the past with new and fresh ideas.
Everything that appears in books is already the past. While I read books about art, new and fresh ideas come to my mind. This is how the past and future meet in the present moment. I would not call it a collision. It is a meeting when the past and present meet to create the future. That’s why I love reading books not only about art but many others. Books stimulate my mind and imagination. I know that practically everything you read here, my Dear Friend, is a cliche. Still, in banalities, we can find many truths. Reading is, for me, one of the most efficient and acceptable activities connected with broadly defined consumption. I consume words by reading. I do not watch TV, Netflix, and other streaming programs daily.
I watch Netflix and the television only when I am at my Parent’s house in my hometown, Brok.
I go to my beloved Parents once a month. Watching television, or sometimes twice (when I am in Brok more frequently), is enough for me. Do I have enough reading books about art? No. I would say I read too rarely. When I read, I often stop reading. Why? Because my thoughts are floating into many vast nooks of my imagination. Often, these are moments when I write down my own thoughts about some issues. Books, not only about art, provide me with many incentives. When I read, I usually want to switch from a consumeristic point of view to a creative one. Books are the force that reminds me if I want to leave something profound to other people, I must create, not consume. Still, I feel that the more I consume content, the better the creator I become.
