Ponderings in a corner of the universe

Reading and writing

Writing uses the left hand side of the brain to help crystallize thought and maintain continual growth. It helps lay foundations for additional thought. It can be read at a later date and modified based on the further developed mind of the writer.

Reading is a way to supplement ones own thoughts and concepts with those of others. Although not giving you the chance to discuss with the author even a book which you disagree with allows for you to gain further insight into humanity by reading the thoughts of another.

Discuss.... :-)

PS People write too many long emails, especially at work, including me. What about the difference between written passages that should be long and ones that should be short. Is not being clear, crisp and concise always a benefit? Writing does not replace discussion :-)
