I do read a lot. I have close to 400 ebooks on my phone, that's apart from subject-based books. I could read 17/7 as against 24/7 non stop.

(Smiles, shaking head like an old father at his cute little son) I never wanted the "punny" - I wish you used a gentler name - coz I'm not that vulgar. I don't even know if she's attractive enough for me. Besides I already have someone. Her response to that guy was touching and mature. That's all. Whatever happened to the art of genuinely complimenting girls for their inner beauty, especially when it's observed?

@LarrySun, I wish Nairaland could be deweeded of guys who treat girls as objects. Anyways, nice train of thoughts I observed earlier with your "chicken-and-eggs" philosophizing. I love philosophy too but didn't feel the need to join in. We should talk more on some future thread. Great mind you have. :-)

You are right. Fiction alone will not accomplish this. The thing is...Reading only nonfiction will not do it either. In anything...a healthy balance is necessary. Especially if one only reads religious books. I'm not saying don't read them. I'm saying don't "only" read them. Only reading religious books can lead to closed-mindedness. There are plenty of good books and stories out there that are inspirational, and do not threaten or encroach on ones beliefs. We should seek knowledge and wisdom, while maintaining our principles. It is possible.

It's like water.

@Firestar, Refering to Texanomaly's quote you mentioned, why read at all if you re afraid to change your principles? Reading one book or many that suits your current beliefs won't help. Infact, I've learned it's best to pursue knowledge outside your comfort zone. So firestar, you might want to remove that diadem you put on her head :-) ...For now...

That comment was made to encourage those afraid to read outside their comfort zone. Sometimes baby steps are needed to help others realize there is no danger in having “ideas”. Especially ideas that go against the mainstream norm.

Reading helps one create a world that is their own. It can be within certain parameters, if one wishes. I did say this puts limits on one’s ability to become all one can be. I said, don’t read only a certain kind of books. Reading can certainly broaden one’s horizons. It is wise to read outside one’s comfort zone. It is also wise to know where you stand before venturing outside of it.

Abraham Lincoln said, “Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.” It is important to have a place to stand while you figure out where “to plant your feet.” If, after one has gone outside their comfort zone, they decide to plant their feet elsewhere, so be it. There must be a place to start though, or we lose ourselves while searching. When I was in secondary school I was given a book called “A Place to Stand While Putting Yourself Together.” It is a diary of sorts. It asks a lot of questions about what you would do in certain situations. It also asks questions about where you would like your life to go and how you expect to get there.

It is important to know who you want to be, where you want to be, how you want to get there and who you want to be when you arrive. Without knowing these things, we are likely to be tossed about on stormy seas and possibly end up smashed upon the rocks. In order to “not” become victims in our pursuits, we must decide beforehand, who we are at that time. I look back at that book sometimes to see where I was and where I am now.

Of course some goals and dreams have changed, but the important thing to me is…Am I who I wanted to be when I arrived at this point in time. Where we start, (our comfort zone) decides where we go. More importantly, it decides how we get there. Regardless of our age now, the innocence of those hopes and dreams we had in our youth, should always be at the back of our minds.

Having a comfort zone is not a bad thing, as long as we are not afraid to step out of it. Equally important is the ability to know when to step back in.

I’ve been called “kind hearted” enough in my life that I’ve learned to accept and appreciate it as a means of describing me. I don’t remember a time when kindness was not a part of me, but to be honest, I think it started as a survival mechanism. You would have to know a great deal more about me, to know why I say that. I feel blessed to have come out of my youth with that quality. Things could have gone so far in the other direction without inspired guidance.

Inspiring viewpoint. So inasmuchas we encourage reading outside our comfort zone, reading within our comfort zone is advisable circumstantially. I get your point. Okay, the diadem really is yours *smiles*
