To clarify this a little bit more, the question is about Human relations. When you get to know someone, you start learning about them. Bits by bits, you know them better as if you're reading through a book. But the book is not some cheap novel that you can just predict what the next page will be like. Each and every book you come across will be different. Some has more interesting covers than others but has such a crappy content. Some looks like a plain old book, but what lies inside is an adventure of a life time. I would consider the book my friend came across as...a children book with interesting pictures and words scattered all over the place, but that's a story worth another day.
What happened to the book I came across? Well, I'm a bookworm. Ironically enough, the friend of mine who is stuck with the children book is an actual bookworm. But in this case I am a bookworm since it was a bad metaphor to begin with. I have found books that I am interested in but never picked them up. The book I did pick up though was rather interesting. The story which lies inside is completely different than what I thought, and it drew me in even more. Like a child visiting the bookstore and finding his favorite comic book, I never wanted to put it down. Alas the ending lies beyond me because I had to put it down before I could read any further.
I am not a man of wisdom. But I know myself very well. I know that I have yet to experience life at its peak and neither at its bottom. I know that my sense of priorities is quite messed up lately. I know that I should sleep more in order to actually be awake in the day. And I know that I must keep learning...in order to live exactly the way I want. In every book, there lies a lesson, something you must learn by reading it. Not so long ago, I think I've finally figured out what the lesson from the previous books I picked up was...and now I'm just looking forward to learn more
