Reflection

Only when a person combines their knowledge with various aspects to examine and compare each true knowledge can they truly understand and master these knowledge, and make them useful to themselves. A person can only think carefully about what they know, so they must learn new things; However, only those things that have been carefully considered can become his true knowledge.Thinking and reading can have different impacts on a person's spirit, and the magnitude of the differences is incredible. Therefore, this further increases the inherent ideological differences between people - due to differences in nature, some people love to think, while others enjoy reading. Reading is the imposition of certain foreign and heterogeneous ideas on our minds, which do not align with our spirit, just like a seal forcibly leaving a mark on paraffin.Therefore, our minds are subjected to completely external pressure, thinking about this and that at the same time, neither out of instinct nor out of liking.A large amount of simple reading can cause our spirit to lose its sensitivity, just like a spring that continuously receives heavy pressure and promotes elasticity. If a person doesn't want to use their brains to think, the safest way is to pick up a book as soon as they are free. This explains why being knowledgeable and knowledgeable often makes many people more foolish and numb than before, and hinders the success of their works. As Pope said, they have always been: constantly reading others, but never being read by others.
