There are few leisure activities that nourish and enrich the human mind as much as reading. It brings its wonderful lovers into rich and far-flung places without ever making a single step; but, unfortunately, many have abandoned this most marvelous pastime. Others, sheared of the critical cornerstones of elementary learning, have not been able to avail themselves to this most wonderful human recreation.
This article's arch objectives are to explain and demonstrate the golden beauty and wonderful benefits of reading; to warn readers about the ever lurking danger of devouring harmful, polluted literary materials that are not only destructive to them, but to society as well; and to encourage society to dive headlong into the refreshing pool of good reading and enjoy that hidden world of beauty and wonder that lies behind the pages of good, wholesome writing.
The world of warm, inspiring reading is an endless train of beautiful, enriching academic thought that cleanses, nourishes, strengthen, and polishes the magnificent gem of the human mind. There is nothing in the world that is as powerful and rich as the mind of man. It is replete with natural gifts, talents, and skills. Few people really realize how much power and potential are stored right in the treasury of their minds. Many wander from place to place looking feverishly for happiness, prosperity, wealth, and meaning to their empty existence without realizing that all they have ever needed and will ever desire is all stored right there in the quaint archive and golden vault of their minds. All people in the world were born wealthy: The wealth is in their minds; but, because they do not understand this aspect of life's tenebrous mystery, many die as paupers when indeed they should have led a life of wealth, splendor, luxury, prosperity, and pomp. A casual glance at the world's big shots overwhelmingly verifies this simple, yet often overlooked, fact that all human beings were born rich. This solemn and most crucial point is mentioned at this juncture to underscore the fact that good, wholesome reading nourishes, enlightens, and polishes the often coarse-looking pearl of the human mind. Once the pearl is properly fed with the nourishing aliments of good reading and polished with clean, positive, wholesome thoughts; the gems that it contains begin to shine and once seemingly worthless, empty lives bloom with grace, talent, and hitherto undiscovered potential.
What dramatic transformation that reading and its tremendously empowering capability impart to those who find the time to sit somewhere and just read good, quality content. But despite all the beautiful virtues of reading, it is rather consequential to be cognizant of the ever lurking dangers that hide behind the seemingly tame pages of books. While reading is such a precious, priceless pearl and delicious nutrition for the mind; consuming unwholesome reading materials is a poisonous germ with terrifying capabilities and ruinous consequences: It can destroy you and the entire world around you. Society and the world are fraught with people who have been brainwashed by the false socialization of public education, organized religion, and destructive politics controlled by clandestine societal institutions. In this regard, it is very important to connect with, and read content that delivers undisguised truth-watch what you read! Folks, the world that you think you have known so well is not the world that exists out there. Things are not what they seem to be: The world is an optical illusion filled with guileful and deceptive people who serve the darker side things; but you do not know that, and you take things at face value, missing the whole point to be very cautious about the world and its dashing philosophy of fun and a good time.
There are sharp, hidden nails behind the screen of the wonderful time that the world so often glibly promises people. When you look around at this world, you certainly do not see a world filled with people having such a marvelous time as is portrayed on television and in the movies. They hide the broken noses and battered cheeks of abused women and the pathetic corpses of drunk drivers who lost control of their automobiles on the highway coming home. It is all a charade that they do not want you to see and know. There is a cover up in this world, and not many know that the whole thing is a mirage-a lie that is very well told by the rich and famous of this world. This is not to scare you, but to simply warn you to beware of what you read, for all books are not created equal. The world is replete with brainwashing institutions whose principal goal is to distort, corrupt, and destroy your mind. As you look around today in society today, you cannot help but notice a world that is unraveling at its seams and rapidly falling apart. The massive pillars of world society are crumbling because the masses of the earth have been brainwashed by false, empty beliefs; fraud-driven, corrupt societal institutions; and crooked, mercenary politicians drunk with greed and lust and sin. These corrupt, public officials; obsessed and possessed with themselves and the devil are part of a venal machinery in this world that have flatly rejected the truth and have hauled away the teeming masses of the earth into the howling chasm of destruction.
These unfortunate consequences have sprung from the consumption of large amounts of false, poisonous literature. The earth's masses have devoured the wrong reading materials; they have read the wrong books-books filled with tort and vile contents that have poisoned their minds and the very soul of the earth. Against this backdrop, this writer would like to encourage you to dive headlong into the refreshing, pristine stream of good, morally safe reading. There are many good reading materials out there. Whatever pollutes and drives people to kill themselves and vast numbers of others could never be good for the human race, regardless of its religious origin. Turning massive crowds of innocent people into gruesome heaps of shrapnel, blood, flesh, and shredded bones could never be good for the human race under any circumstances whatsoever.
People ought to read good, salubrious materials like the Bible, works by French star writer Albert Camus, and the many great books of the Victorian Age. These wonderful books would take you back to a world that was saner, safer, and much more delightful than the one in which you live today. Additionally, this writer also advises you to explore this particular stream of thought and its unique, novel spin of how the world works. Contrary to the tremendously damaging effects of vile, poisonous reading that corrupts the mind; good reading nourishes, strengthens, motivates, and inspires the mind to do great things and affect the world in a wonderful way. It enables one to think for himself and to make decisions that would impact his life and the world in a positive way. This is the reason that reading wholesome, well balanced content is so crucial to a healthy, happy life and safe, secure society.
Unfortunately, for as much as the world's peoples have been brainwashed and misled by the vulpine, clandestine machinery of lies, guile, and subterfuge that rules this earth today; well balanced, factually accurate reading content often seems more like a fairytale that anything else. Consequently, it is necessary to warn readers not to cast negative judgment on things and ideas that are unfamiliar and new to them. The world is confused and falling apart because people have refused to question comfort-zone, traditional ideology and bluntly rejected novel, unfamiliar ideas as wrong and false. The irony here is that the world's peoples have flatly rebuffed and rejected the truth and have given their lives to protect and promote rank lies; dry, empty philosophies; and false, polluted sociopolitical systems that are not in their best interest. And, paradoxically, nowhere in the world has this strange, sociological paradox become more evident than right here in the United States.
The ship of the world economy virtually sank under Republican control during the Bush Administration and the United States practically became a sprawling poorhouse with a formerly vibrant machine of food pantries and hand-out outfits running out of oil just about everywhere. Many universities were (and still are) unable to function in the absence of these much-needed food pantries to help students make ends meet as the parents funds evaporated in thin air. The Republicans lost the Presidential Palace (White House is viewed by some as a symbol of racial bias) to the trig, spruce, natty Barak Obama who promised Americans change that they could take home; but four years later, in the wake of an almost one trillion dollar stimulus package-most of which went straight into the pockets of rich, Jewish bankers-to stimulate the economy, Americans are worse off today than they were back then. Why is this so? It is because the current American political system is not set up for ordinary Americans to succeed.
During the past decade or so, the cost of college education has grown at an exponential rate. This gate-keeper factor essentially strains the college applicants purely on the basis of economic superiority. It is a quaint, giant filter that sifts out the wheat (rich, prosperous Americans) from the chaff (poor, struggling Americans); but few have taken notice of this major revolutionary development in twenty-first century-American society. While all this is going on, the American middle class has virtually vanished; and the gap between the "Have" and the "Have Nots" has continued to widen; transmogrifying American society into a regular third-world country with two distinct classes: The rich an d the poor. Who did American war heroes go to the battlefield to protect: Ordinary Americans struggling to make ends meet or aristocratic, secret society henchmen with private and public agendas? You be the judge.
Hey, my name is Moulton Mayers (Straws). I am a philosophical scientist, science fiction writer, poet, and star guitarist. Most people think that they know the world in which they live and accept a lot of things as given. The truth is that if most people really knew the world in which they, they would lead entirely different lives. Have you ever wondered why, although the world is run by the brightest minds and the best of geniuses, it is awash with tears and disturbing evening news? Have you ever thought why the finest minds from the most prestigious universities in the world cannot straighten things out in this world? What is the origin of of war? Sure, all that does not bother you because no storms are blowing in your neck of the wood right now; but think about it: Why are you so evasive and dismissive about the nature and reality of the world in which you live? Could it be that you have been brainwashed to ignore these awful real-world occurrences and behave as if they are merely fairy tales when indeed you know that they are not. The world has been brainwashed by the guileful machine of the media to view things the wrong way. The world has replaced books with machines and turned people into dehumanized automotons. The world's smart boys have literally snatched books from reading lovers' hands and replaced them with trashy, technology-driven entertainment. Aren't you tired of the empty rat race for more treasure, pleasure, and entertainment in a rapidly disintegrating world? Doesn't that bother you sometimes? Hey, let's talk about it and let me show you the real world that you think you know so well. Go to my website http://crashingstreamsofchange.com/ and leave me a comment.
