Philosophy

[close] Inspire and be Inspired! Welcome to Inspiring Book Club where you can talk about your all-time favorite book that has inspired you the most, and helped change your life. What book has touched you deeper than any other? What words have moved you and transformed the way you look at life? Let's build a library of inspiring books that we hold dear to our hearts, and have a shelf filled with special offerings. Inspiring others is the pathway to our own discoveries —RCC

[close] “I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.” ~ Sylvia Plath ≿━━━━━━༺❀༻━━━━━━━━━━━━≾ The scene is set. You’re laying in a comfortable spot. More than one candle is lit. Maybe you have some soothing music playing in the background. You are so excited to start reading this book that’s been on your TBR list for months. You open the book and read a few pages. As you hum to yourself, you try to focus on the descriptions, the words, and imagery. After a few moments, you can’t fight it any longer. You’re bored. You don’t feel like reading about this new character. You’re not sucked into the story. You sigh, close the book, and cast it aside. You doubt you’ll pick it back up anytime soon. Instead, you wander throughout your library and see if there is something else that will strike your fancy within the next ten minutes. If you’re lucky, you find something right away and start reading it. Maybe you google, “books for when you’re feeling...” Unfortunately, you don’t find what you’re looking for. You return back to your home and stare at the book sitting on your table. Why can’t you just pick it back up and push through? Why can’t you give it another try? You can’t explain it. All you can say is that you’re not in the mood. Does this happen more often than not? If so, you're in the right place. If not- well, you're still welcome to join! Last but not the least, don't forget to invite your friends over! . ⋅ ˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .. ⋅ ˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ Join our discord server here: https://discord.gg/H56bfwhS Welcome to #TheMoodReaders.
