Reading

June 23, 2009 at 8:17 pm (Uncategorized)

When I want to relax I read…books, old newspapers, magazines. most of the time when I can’t sleep I read until I get sleepy. I recently got a book…from a second-hand bookshop its’ cover is tattered but I was intrigues with the teaser I read from the back cover. As I was reading the book it wasn’t the story that captivated me….what captivated me was the dialogue of the friend of the heroine and the aunt of the heroine. The girl asked the older woman “Is she a psychic? can she really foresee the future?” to which the older woman replied “She is no more psychic than you and I,but you know what? She was able to recognize this: When a person is content with what he has then he stops growing,he stops to learn and see the other side of the fence…what she did was to shake you up so you begin to question the kind of life that you are living…so that you would yearn for something that from the very beginning is very attainable for you….”
