Luis Oyarzun, a great defender of the planet, said that "the earth is your portrait. Look in these dry hills, cracked, satanic. Seeds do not grow here. Not even weeds. Is not your own face? "Categorically, as he reminds us with these words is that man is the reflection of his actions, how has your environment. A look noble and caring about reality can only belong to a human who has assumed responsibility before their relative position between things. We can not wipe out everything, because that way end up destroying ourselves spiritually.
However, the relationship we establish with reading, library books and works in a similar way. Paraphrasing Oyarzún could say that our behavior before the reading is also a portrait ourselves. If the space to keep the book is dirty, messy, dark, and we can hardly find ourselves reflected in it. Nor will generate a rich dialogue with reality if we beat what we read, or simply do not consider reading as an act that is connected to our ability to freely choose what makes most sense. What, I wonder, if a man on the earth suddenly decide to abandon their crops and leave their fate to chance? Probably the fruits grow weak and insecure, and would, for that reason, the best reflection of the man who abandons himself through his actions. And why Why not also check out the books this way?
Because it matter what we read, how we read and where we read, we start thinking about our reading habits as if they were the land that each neatly prepared for that then arise wonderful worlds that comfort us as a leafy tree full of fascinating fruit.
