Enjoy Life

When the story line doesn't really fit your ethos
When the characters do not match with your curiosity
When your mind keeps straying to create scenarios
For yourself
Rather than allowing you to concentrate on the plot,
What's the best option than putting the book away
And seeking another,
Whose aural pulses quench your thirst
And whose powers are so hypnotic
That you even come to forget who you really are?

Life is so short
And wasting time away
By indulging in books which give us no pleasure
Is certainly a suffering

Life is so short indeed
And best it is
To make the most of it
By making sure we pamper ourselves
As much as possible with self care and self love
And reading that which appeals to us
Is one of the highest ways to honor ourselves!

Yes, we should pamper ourselves with self care and self love. But never stop with it. We should radiate this care and love to others too... ! Very meaningful and well composed, dear friend !
