Why Are You Reading This?
Think about this for a moment.
Why do people want to learn?
Right now, I am sitting in the public library in my hometown. It is actually a very nice library with free wi-fi, a busy coffeshop and is centrally located in the cultural portion of downtown. Every time I come in here, there is always a crowd inside its walls. Some individuals are chatting outside in the lobby or coffee shop, others are surfing the web, and a small minority are actually reading books. But even though everyone in the library might be doing different things, we are all here for one reason.
To learn.
Even outside of the library, you might be surprised at how often you are doing a task in hopes that you might be learning something. Every time you go on the internet, you are seeking to learn. Every time you talk to a new person, you are seeking to learn. Every time you read a posted flier on a wall, you are seeking to learn. It is funny how so many of us after graduation have given up on formal learning, but deep inside we are seeking every opportunity to learn.
But why do we want to learn?
Could it be for love?
I believe the reason why we continuously seek out new information is so we can be loved. Every time we google some random subject, inside we are hoping that someone will appreciate the knowledge we have learned and then will share a smile with us. It is human nature for us to use our minds and intellect to get the things we want.
Why would it be different for love?
It is funny how everything comes back to love.
