Buying books but not reading books is a kind of disease, the cause of which is mostly implicit burnout in thought, which then permeates into action and evolves into explicit laziness.
So, what caused this "morbid"?
The first is to put on a facade.
Supporting the scene is for the nouveau riche who have not studied for a few days since childhood. Some children lack the family conditions for reading when they were young, only read for a few years, never even read, or read later than others. They entered the society prematurely, unwilling to be poor and rich, and made some achievements through their own efforts. In this way, the poor boy who was once seen by others will attract more attention to see him. Under such a vision and social conditions, there will be more requirements for their words and deeds. If you really want to get rid of the inherent label, in addition to wealth, you need personal cultivation to keep up.
However, for a person who has received backward education since childhood, decades of exploration may have taught him some unwritten truths, some realistic rules of "swearing is not rude", and these truths are tried and tested. In their minds, this is wisdom, and the source of wisdom is always empiricism.
Therefore, only books can really save their weak knowledge system and cultural level. The bookshelf is full of listed knowledge, but none of them can arouse his interest. This book is not his cup of tea, even if he crustily skin of head to read it, he can't go on reading it. At a glance, there is still a Jianghu atmosphere hidden in his bones.
Behind the flashy appearance is a naked knowledge gap.
Special for loading and unloading
Most people who like to pretend are young people. I don't read much, but I want to be praised by others like a university scholar. In particular, there are a row of Borges, Calvino, Haruki Murakami and Kundera on the bookshelf ... Foreign literature is an artifact, and you can see a person's accomplishment from the books you read. The subtext of foreign literature is that you have set your eyes on the whole world, and the sea of books in China has reached the end. Kong Yiji's rotten gown is at best the dignity of a scholar; At worst, it is a "forced coat" that is unwilling to be mediocre.
There is another reason for pretending to be forced, that is, the popular word "literature and art". Write personal accounts, listen to folk songs, like painting and reading ... Young artists' daily life is bound to be accompanied by books, which is the most intuitive embodiment of their literary life.
But he must have forgotten that books can be framed, but they can't be used to force them!
Three busy and lazy bookworms
There are also some people who grew up reading and regard reading as a serious pastime. So every time I visit the bookstore, I will pick a few books I like and think about which day I can take them out.
And every time they promote online, they think it is a good opportunity to collect books. Hardcover books have been put in a lot, which seems to have been buried in the grave from the moment they were put down, and it is difficult to have a resurrection day. Press the start button when you are busy, and the end button will be broken. Even if you take a break, you may not read, but the probability of turning on your mobile phone is much greater.
In the era of information explosion, the passion that could have been used to read books and raise flowers was annihilated by small mobile phones. More and more people "buy books like a mountain, and reading is like reeling from silk". The more books, the greater the psychological pressure, and the less I know which one to start reading. I want to read every book, but I haven't read every book for a while.
This is a common problem of lazy cancer patients. If you don't do what you want to do now, the chances of doing it later will be even more slim.
There are many people around me who want to learn to draw, and when the colored paper is ready, they suddenly lose interest; I want to stick to fun running, but I lost my enthusiasm for fun running because I had other things to do for several nights.
The ancients said, "Books are not borrowed or read." It makes sense to think about it. My books are on the shelf, on the desk, on the bed and everywhere. I always use the phrase "I have plenty of time to study in the future" to prevaricate my rare reading addiction, so as to comfort myself from bottomless depravity.
