Autumn is best season for reading

Autumn is best season for reading

In Japan, when we think of autumn, we think of "gourmet food" and "reading." With the spread of SNS these days, there may be few people who read books in their hands.

Even in such an era, my 85-year-old mother does not do SNS. The means of communication is a letter. Last week, my mother sent me an essay collection with seasonal greetings. I read the essay week for the first time in a long time. Not digital information on the web but words in books is very impressive. 

There are some stunning hints of life in the dull essay. For example, when you get older, you regret the following:

  • I shouldn't have bothered what others think
  • I should have lived with more happiness
  • I should have done more for others
  • I shouldn't have bothered
  • I should have spent more time with my family
  • I should have said more people-friendly words
  • I shouldn't have lived with such anxiety
  • I should have more time
  • I should have taken the plunge and adventured
Some of above advice may help you.

I think reading a book once in a while will nourish the soul. The library, which had been closed due to Corona, has reopened now. On weekends, I'll go to the library.
