Thought From Knowledge

Where our thinking comes from, it is from knowledge? Where knowledge comes from, it is from books.
For example, in ancient days a farmer need not have to think, because his knowledge was only to plant the field, other than that he knew not.
In one of the ancient dynasties. An old king died, leaving an infant son. Power fell to one minister, who, evil as he was, imprisoned the baby king in one room, only fading him, but forbidding anyone to speak to him and of course, no education of any kind. When the baby king grew up, he only knew how to eat, knowing nothing about the world. Even Shakespeare could not write such evil idea.
Therefore, we must seek knowledge which we all know is from books. But, there is millions of books in the book shops. We have to be careful to select good books. As books are the recorder of our ancestors’ experience from which we learn how to live our life. But, we have to read good books to guide us into the door of comfort, bad book leading us to absys of hell.
