"Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking."- Albert Einstein
We live in busy times. We do not take the moment to savor the moment. We take granted of many things. Bad energies flow everywhere. What happened to the state of Zen and Tao?
We worry a lot about the past and the future and not the present. The most simple mindset is on the "Here and Now".
We are so sure about our sadness and depression then not so sure about our happiness and euphoria. We are no longer enjoying the treasures of nature as Gaia herself presented to us.
We read too much, we think too much and we talk too much. Our daily activities have become the activities of stress destroying the pace of inner peace.
We dictate, impose and persuade others for no reason other than the desirable attempt to change other people. We are used as means, in which they take advantage of us. Why can't we accept the peculiar absurdity of this world? Einstein is correct that too much reading takes away our creativity. Also, what's the ultimate reason on the existence of education? Ignorance is inevitable. The more we read, the more we may become insane, confused and deluded.
There are many things that are controlling us as we are our own prison. Everything we see and we do, are of superficial value devoid of quintessential value of profundity. We have great difficulty in embracing the mysteries of life. Don't waste those moments that they can never return. Carpe Diem!
(I wrote this on my diary dated August 5, 2010. I based Einstein on the quote above.)

Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
