Books Are The Ocean

In the ancient days, rich Europe can families all had libraries full of books, thousands and thousands in numbers.
We surely can see that they just put the books on the shelf for showing off. They did not read those books. Even one book would take a day to finish.
Those nobles partied every week, drinking alcohol everyday. They did not like to read those books.
In China, books have been regarded as property of educated people. If you do not read, you are ignorant. This is of course, true.
But, books are like an ocean, we need to reflect upon what good and useful books are truly for our use. We are unable to read all books.
Still, books are the foundation of our knowledge. Without books, we shall be ignorant and we cannot live our life peacefully and comfortably.
