The Scene of This World is Changing

What does it feel to live in this world? Sometime's you feel happy and sometime's you don't. Some people are rich and some are not. But there is one thing that doesn't separate both, we all expect that sometime or someday we are going to die. The scene of this world is changing rapidly. Every year the global temperature is rising, our climate is changing. Some plants and animals are now extinct like the tasmanian tiger, and others are still fighting for their survival. We can observe these even in our own backyards. In my place, a few years ago I can still see plenty of migratory birds flying, but now I can only see few of them. It's quite sad to see things changing rapidly but that's the way it is.

Do you love reading books and other literature?

Nowadays, computers, cellphones, mp3's, and other devices have become widely popular. Many people have become addicted on using these devices.

I observed that most people prefer doing other things rather than reading books and doing much important things. The reason they say is that " reading is not fun". Is that how you also view it? Do you know that reading helps reduce stress levels. Also try not to think that reading is boring, reading helps a person develop his skills and learn different things. Reading daily refreshes our mind.
