What is a book? Sometimes books are like medicine. They really heal the problems we face in our daily lives. A good habit begins with reading a book. Whatever, with a good start there will be better success at the end. And reading to get action rather than reasons. Today, we will continue to talk about a topic related to the reading pleasure. In which, to make yourself do rather than think about the reason to procrastinate. Even if you start reading today, it will be a good habit you have.
In the meantime, let’s explore some very pleasing and heartwarming words. Having said that, why can’t we, as living people, feel pleasure in life, but must find pleasure through reading? Because in our daily lives, it is sometimes difficult to feel joyful. For example, when facing a person who is a bastard, and you know that he is a bastard, can you really scold him anytime and anywhere?
Sometimes it really doesn’t work. The ties of various social relationships and the constraints of various gazes prevent us from expressing ourselves freely. But sometimes when you read a book, you will find that the book is written very viciously, and it is really refreshing to swear, which helps us vent our emotions. Although this is not advanced, it is indeed one of the benefits of reading for me.
I remember a teacher telling us that all advanced aesthetics actually have a not-so-advanced physiological basis. For instance, when people appreciate aesthetics, they appreciate rhythm very much. Listening to music, watching a play, or even a stand-up sketch, the actor’s mastery of rhythm from second to the second is also the source of our pleasure.
Then it’s for sure, just a piece of rap, that rhythm makes us feel comfortable. Then what is the physiological basis of this comfort? It’s simple – just breathing. Because humans need to breathe, our physiology is built on a sense of rhythm.
If you look at a symphony orchestra, it is the conductor who sets the rhythm. In a small band of four, there is no conductor for chamber music, so who will lead the rhythm? Just one of the musicians. They bring in the rhythm with their deliberately exaggerated breathing. So music and our human breathing physiology are one and the same.
Another example is the happiness we are talking about today. Why do people have to be happy, why are they happy? The essence of happiness is to accumulate and then release. Isn’t this a physiological basis? People have three urgencies, and one of them is to excrete. It is the existing accumulation and then releases that bring pleasure.
For example, when we play the game Tetris, we watch the cubes fall down one by one, the piles get higher and higher, we are dying, we are dying, oh no, it’s over soon, and then suddenly a four-block strip will fall down and eliminate four lines at once – wow! Happy! You taste the feeling at that moment, whether it is the pleasure brought by excretion, it is the same thing.
Of course, in our daily lives, we have accumulated some depression, some grayness, and some anger, but daily life may not allow us to vent happily. This is often the benefit of reading. The happy words in some books let us vent the toxins accumulated in our daily life at once, making us feel happy. So what are books? Books are sometimes medicine. They really cure the ailments we get in our daily lives.
Happiness is also a physiological response to the accumulation and release of tension, as seen in games like Tetris. Reading can provide an outlet for accumulated negative emotions, making us feel happy. Overall, books are a form of medicine that can cure the ailments of daily life.
In conclusion, books can be like medicine, healing the problems we face in daily life. Reading can bring pleasure and help us vent our emotions, especially when social constraints prevent us from expressing ourselves freely. Advanced aesthetics are rooted in basic physiology, such as the pleasure we feel from rhythm in music and breathing.
In addition, the column I made about reading is not about any great principles or methods, but there is one of the reasons that I said, it’s just an ordinary habit and a good habit begins with reading. Then we also could refine some actions by reading some books as I have mentioned above. I hope it catches up our interest in reading. There is no more complex action, but you are willing to pick up a book and start reading. Now, stop thinking and take action, read!
