The two most important things you’ll do in your lifetime.

Prose, Poetry, and Essays

Read.

Read everyday.

It’s all there is to do anyway,

to consume new information, to learn.

It’s the only way to do it, really.

I misunderstood what it meant.

It was lost to me as a hobby to pursue.

It’s not. It’s one of only few ways to consume information. Lots of it.

All of the World’s information is written down. And You can only know what you’re exposed to. There’s so much of it, You’ll be consuming it from a firehose. Good information is hard to find. There’s usually someone watching over it. Hiding it from view or asking for a toll. You’ll have to go out of your way to find it sometimes. Or expose it.

Finally, once You’ve learnt good information, there’s only so many ways to tell people about it.

To learn about the world and retell lessons from your existence are two of the most important things you’ll do with your lifetime. Reading and writing. In pursuit of better arguments.
