Since the war in Ukraine broke up, I noticed that I read less frequently. Today (I wrote this text on the 5th of April, 2022), I know I must return to reading books.
How fucking Putin’s army invasion of Ukraine affect reading books? It is because I started watching TV more frequently. For the first weeks of the conflict, I fed my heart, mind, and soul news from warfare. Last time I decided that I should stop watching TV news. Does that mean I do not know what is happening in my neighbor’s land? No, I read the news on the Internet. Still, I know that double-feeding myself with terrible news did not help me anyhow. I feel that I was sleeping worse during that time. Last but not least, I noticed that I did not read books. I do not want TV news would win with the magnificent books that I possess in my collection.
It is reading that is one of the most nourishing activities for humans’ minds.
Thanks to reading, we feed our imagination. Our minds are working on a much higher level than watching television. While writing about all these things, I realize that I miss reading. I want to feed my mind with healthy nutrition. Undoubtedly, war is a toxic poison. I cannot imagine not tracking news from war completely, but I know that I won’t watch TV news anymore. That’s why I feel I must return to reading books.
I am convinced that reading will give me much more incentive and inspiration. The truth is that I have many books to read in my collection, and I should focus on them, not on watching TV. I’ve been feeding myself with TV news for more than a month, and now I know I should stop doing it. In books I trust.
