Lately, people have started reading less. The times when the book was considered the best gift are in the distant past, which is a pity ... Refusing this exciting activity, many do not even know what they are losing.

What is a book? This is not just a printed edition with a beautiful cover that you can put in your purse for the sake of appearance to impress friends. This is not an attribute of the so-called nerd and nerd. And, of course, this is not something that “must be read by tomorrow” in order to pass an exam, write a test, or pass an interview.

No, the book is much more! Opening its first page, we seem to open before us a new world filled with secrets that we have to unravel in the process of reading.

Without noticing it, we plunge into the atmosphere of the life of the heroes, we begin to empathize with them. Our imagination draws images of the places described in the work, we imagine the appearance of the characters, the features of their clothes and home.

A good book is a real outlet for those who want to briefly forget about the troubles of everyday life and relax. Sometimes, reading this or that work, we can find answers to important questions that concern us. And it also happens that some story, novella or novel completely changes our life.

There are works of art that have been familiar to us since childhood. But even as we get older, we reread them with pleasure. It is surprising that with each new reading the book does not lose its relevance, but, on the contrary, acquires a new meaning.

You can endlessly talk about the fact that reading is a pleasant and useful activity, but no words can convey all the feelings that you experience when turning the pages of your favorite book. Therefore, if you want to experience these unforgettable sensations, then quickly get a familiar edition from the shelf, sit back on the couch and read, read, read!

We are all so diverse in nature, interests and worldview that it is simply impossible to find two identical people, and sometimes it is difficult to find someone close to you. It seems to me that the inner world is the most valuable and most interesting thing in each of us.

How exciting it is sometimes to discover a new acquaintance. When a person begins to communicate with you and talk about himself, how many pleasant surprises are often hidden in him!

You can observe someone from the sidelines for a very long time or draw conclusions based on their appearance or behavior, but almost never such observations are true. The first impression is usually deceiving, and the same actions can be dictated by completely different motives.

Only during a confidential conversation heart to heart is a person able to open the door to his inner world. Learning other people's secrets, we seem to become part of them ourselves. We begin to better understand the interlocutor, become imbued with sympathy for him and mentally experience all the events that he tells us about, we respond to his emotions.

And it happens the other way around. Despite the fact that a person seemingly opens up, he remains absolutely incomprehensible to us, because his inner world is not close to us. His stories can even evoke feelings of detachment and judgment.

In a word, the people around us are a real mystery, which is not always possible to solve. But maybe this is for the best, because not everything secret must necessarily become clear. When a secret remains even in a well-known person, it only makes communication with him more interesting.
