The meaning of reading is to expand one's world through the lives of others. Through books, you can understand different eras, lives, and thoughts in a short period of time, so as not to be limited by your current environment, gradually forming an independent and clear awareness. It makes you realize that your confusion and emotions are not lonely, and there are already deeper expressions and answers. Reading may not bring immediate success, but it subtly shapes your horizons, judgment, and temperament, allowing you to be more composed, rational, and empowered to decide what kind of person you will become in a complex life.
