Reading Can Get You High by Kayceenaz(m): 10:50am On Mar 05, 2018
A bit worried as that issue strolled unrestrainedly in my mind, "how do I deal with this?" I soliloquized. An unlikely suggestion pops up in my occupied mind to finish up that book I gratuitously deserted for a while. Perusing the remaining pages left me nodding my head in agreement with the apt points made by the author, smiling, and unexpectedly oblivious of my earlier concerns. Like a fully charged phone, I was reinvigorated and animated by those priceless words in print. I felt stronger and on top of the world like the marijuana consumers would often describe, as my immense God-given capacity to conquer dawned on me once again.

This episode which has recurred in my earthly sojourn brings to our notice a very vital fact: Reading a good, self-enhancing book can really get you high as long as you're willing to immerse yourself in the act. Besides enriching you knowledge-wise and giving your vocabulary a facelift, reading, I have discovered, is a therapeutic activity that can checkmate emotional stress, worries, and anxieties. It is as effective as those hard drugs which many today, especially youths, resort to for solace, inspiration, getting high, strength, and courage.

"But, reading can be boring and uninteresting. I read when I have to, thrive in my studies and that's it. I cannot 'comman' kill myself," you may retort. I reply "hold on!" Keep at it. You don't fancy the idea? Then get ready to wallow in your anxieties and be myopic about your capability of crushing that stumbling block. I presume you wouldn't want that, would you? So when next you're feeling down and unhappy, pick up a sound self-developing book and soak yourself in the waters of its pages. Give it a try! You are welcome.

A reading culture is cultivated at home during a person's formative years and/or by good teachers. A skilled reader enjoys a good book as much as a good film. The letters on the page do not only mean something but trigger imagination. However, if you have problems understanding what you actually read because you are not a proficient reader, you will never enjoy the pleasure that reading can create, but find the activity strenuous.

Dunno why it's hard to cultivate this habit of reading.. the only time I read consistently is during test/exam or on Quora (kinda addicted to that site).

I've read just a book in the last 3years lipsrsealed

At a time Canadian doctors are protesting that they are being paid too much (your eyes don't deceive you), doctors in Nigeria are on strike for not being paid enough. We can't pay our doctors well, but we can budget ₦1.1 billion to clean a government office. Which way Nigeria?

In other News,
I have read about a lot of women getting turned on while their babies suck their breasts. It's obviously an unspoken secret among women,I believe same thing happens to most African women. As usual only the white women are open enough to speak about it. However masturbating to it is the worrisome part

I did about ten books last year.
and I'm already on my 5th book for this year.
and yeah, it makes me act weird. I could stroll around in the sitting room for over an hour, trying to meditate on what I've read.

Wow. This type of mentality is what africa sorely needs and should be vigorously promoted. Rather its perverseness, irresponsibility, get rich quick schemes, immorality that are shoved on our faces everyday.

I am addicted to reading, I always feel there's an information am not knowing, the more i know the more i want to know though some reading is dangerous, one time I read this manifesto by breivik , the Norway terrorist who killed alot of people in 2011, I remember watching it live on TV, the book almost made me Islamophobia.
