It's always an activity that distracts us from our routine

You're right about that as after so many hours of staring at the screen and calculating, it's nice to do something creative and disconnect my mind from work.

My mom and I have been talking these past few months about all the books that seem like trash these days, but it's been hard to throw them away. It's not easy, even donating them isn't easy.

It's hard for me too, but one thing that I've come to terms with is donating them to the local library, where these books would serve their purpose.

I smiled when you mentioned that you smiled while reading it, because I can just imagine everything a 100-year-old encyclopedia might contain.

Imagine how much life has changed just in the last 20 years. Look at medicine, just to give you an example. How many studies have been proven wrong.

Thank you @jesuslnrs and have a nice day :)
