How are you all? I hope you are well by the grace of Allah. Today I suddenly felt like writing about a topic. The topic is very simple, but for me it is associated with very deep feelings. And that is—books.
I always think that people need a companion in life with whom they don't have to pretend. In real life, we mix with many people, talk, laugh. But can we say everything to everyone? No. There are some feelings that remain only within ourselves. And during those unspoken words, books feel closest to me.
There is a different world of books. When the mind is very restless, it feels so peaceful when I open a book. It feels like I am not just reading the words, but also feeling them. Many times, I am silent for a long time after reading a line of a book. Because those words seem to touch the unknown feelings inside my own mind.
The most beautiful thing for me is that books never force anyone. They only show the way. What is good, what is wrong, how people can change themselves—they explain these things very simply. But they leave the decision up to the people. I like this very much. Because in real life, there are many people who want to impose their own opinions along with giving advice. But books are completely different.
When I am alone, I feel the company of books more. I don't realize how much time passes while reading a good book. Sometimes I find similarities between my life and the characters in the story, and sometimes it feels like the book has written down the words I didn't say.
Nowadays, people want everything very quickly. They find joy in watching a few seconds of video. But the feeling of reading a book is different. Books teach people to be patient. They teach them to think deeply. They give me the opportunity to think about my mistakes.
Books have helped me stay calm during many bad times in my life. When I felt like no one understood, I found a little comfort inside the pages of a book. Books never complain, never move away. Every time I get closer, they give me something new.
To be honest, a book is not just a collection of paper and words. A book is a feeling that gradually becomes very close to the human heart. So I believe that if there is a true silent friend in life, it is a book.
