Book or movie?

The book has a longer history than cinema. In ancient times, the book was highly valued; only a rich and influential person could have a large library. In our time, the value of the book is forgotten.

Walking through the bookstore, it is striking that on the shelves most of the cheap modern books that do not have particularly valuable knowledge. There are very few books on philosophy, history, psychology. Sadly, people stopped buying them. One of the reasons is the development of cinematography. The director himself presents the plot of the book in an abridged version; a person does not need to read. And this is a very negative factor. A person does not imagine for himself what the character, locality, setting looks like, but looks at how the director sees it. People have to think and imagine less, which is a negative factor for mental development. What is still better - a movie or a book? Let's consider two criteria.

1. The plot. In a movie and in a book, it is almost the same (if the director took the plot of the book as a basis, and not just a part and completed it himself). And yet, in the book, it is revealed in detail, because it describes the experiences of the characters from the first page to the last. And in cinema, the emphasis is more on action, on what captivates the viewer.

2. Restrictions. The film has its own limitations - in terms of time and budget. The director does not include many important points in the film, he uses only the key ones.

Books provide information that you can always return to. Books give food to the imagination. When a person reads a lot, literacy becomes automatic.

Why read books? First of all, books are read, of course, to gain knowledge, to find ideas, but we can also say that books form a worldview, values, beliefs, personal philosophy, and all this undoubtedly affects the standard of living in general.

What is the benefit of reading books? The books contain a wealth of experience and knowledge of other people, a lot of ideas, techniques, strategies.

Books form a worldview - by reading the right books, a person gradually forms a worldview, expands and deepens his view of the world, his convictions.

Books develop thinking, imagination, the ability to think and reason. Reading books, you can find the ideal image of yourself in the form of any heroes or real people and subsequently embody this image in your life.

Reading books allows you to find answers to many questions, because everything has long been known, thousands of people have already lived their lives and shared their experiences with all of humanity, a solution to any problem, be it a lack of money or relationships with other people, already exists, and that's all this is stated in the books. It would be foolish not to use them.

Books inspire and motivate people to improve themselves and achieve great results. Books open up new facets of the perception of the world, which we might not have known about before. Open your mind to new possibilities that you may not have known about before. They help to find a solution to a problem or to think about the answer to the question: am I really doing what I came to this world for?

We all, of course, know that information in our today's world is of decisive importance, information flows surround us everywhere, and a person is inevitably faced with a choice of what information to allow into his head.

The most interesting thing is that when you read books a little bit every day, in the aggregate it adds up and inevitably gives its result. This is when, after a certain time, you suddenly realize that you have changed for the better.

If every day you stubbornly learn something new in small portions, then the time will come when these small portions will form in your head into a large amount of knowledge. Consider whether it’s better to succumb to the positive influence of ideas from the books of great people, instead of wasting time on completely useless, albeit enjoyable, things, for example, computer games.

Nowadays, young people simply burn the most valuable time of their lives on completely useless deeds, they all the time strive for pleasure and entertainment, and subsequently one should not be surprised at their mediocre results. This is the scourge of modern society. I think that before people were much more interesting, smarter and more educated, since then there were no televisions and computer games, they read books.

Interestingly, the number of words you use to describe your reality directly affects the quality of your life.
