Why do many students hate books?
Because when the tiny spring shoot busts up into a fresh new life, eager to have a taste of a sweet morning dwe, the arrogant gardener just pours it with a pail of cold water blended with abundent of chemicals and fertilizers, hoping to make it grow faster. Yet the weak green leaf is choked to death due to absorbing too much uncessary watering and nourishment. That is, it is in too well a condition to live. This is exactly what most parents and teachers have been doing to the next generations. They gave birth to their younsters, good. They raise them, not bad. They nourish them well, of course. They give them hope, very good. However, sadly to say, instead of enlighening, they command, for they think they have the right to manipulate what they create or what they "invest" onto. They show no respects to lives, whether those lives are from themselves or not. Grown-ups are taught to accept knowledge, so they do so to their descendants. Therefore they began to stuff, cram their youths with a lot of knowledge they regard as useful. Shit! That's what I've been told to do once for a short while, since I was then at the "Cram" school. To see how those old schools use the word to define their sons and daughters is to know how they would treat their children, the posterity. LOL, pretty funny, right?
So, why do many students hate books?
Not because they hate books, but they hate the way they are treated via books. As far as I have experienced, I never met a person who was not curious about anything surrounding them. Once he or she was curious about something, there aroused them the urge to KNOW. And that's where the knowledge comes from. Knowledge is everywhere, and knowledge is being born at every moment. What is a book? A book is simply a comlilation of knowledge within a specific catagory. One of a major function book can offer is to help us accumulate the information we are curious about at a relatively much faster speed. Given this, we thus don't have any reason to hate books unless we are no more curious about the world we are living in. At least, we should many times have asked ourselves who we are, why we were born (Please don't refer to the stupid consequence of your parents' wrongly fore play...^^), or where we should go. Yes. It turns out that we are still beings with active thinking, and we don't want to get closer to knowledge to open those pathetique books, as our folks always mock us about. The intense emotional collision explodes in our hearts, which hurts very much, and few can come up with an idea to alleviate such pain.
Eventually I find out why many students hate books.
Because they haven't known "THE BOOK" yet, which can slove ALL THE PROBLEMS and contains THE ACCESS TO ALL KNOWLEDGE in the world as well as relieve ALL THE SORROWS we may have, or have had.
Wow! What is the book then?
Well, this is my future calling to let as many students know this book as I could. But so far I only know the first chapter begins with an APPLE story...^o^
