Luxury Of Reading The Impossible

By Peter Fisher


Fiction is based on the writers imagination, which means that there is no such things as impossible. The story could stray away from reality yet even so it does not make it less interesting to read, but the other way around. Books about suspenseful romance, most of the fictional books that focuses around this genre, usually have this denouement that after two main characters went on a difficult and dangerous quest together, they slowly develop feelings along the way.

Realist would say that it is impossible to fall in love with someone, when your life is in danger. Because in reality love takes time, time to get to know the person and time to accept his or her flaws. And that is not something that can happen if you are being chased by man eating snakes. However, in a world where love seems to be in a difficult state, with all the insincerity, secrets, lies and deceptions.

For romantics the ideal image of love is mysterious, passionate, unpredictable, and spontaneous, and these are the themes in a suspense romance genre, that most avid readers appreciate for the simple fact that it is just not something you can find in reality.

Do you know a fun fact about the people back in the days where there was no social media, no gadgets of sorts. People were satisfied with their lives, they work and for leisure and enjoyment they read books, which made them in to creative individuals. And do you know that most of them were satisfied with what they have and what they have become.

Reading suspense, romance, action, mystery novels gives one the luxury to slow down. Take some time to fully digest the theme, the scenes, and all the impossible aspects the novel contains.

You get to ask yourself that what if question from time. And that is not a bad thing, with what if, you become your own creative individual, allowing yourself to go through those impossible ideas, you might even come up with an impossible idea of your own.

You get to become someone with diverse understanding in both art and reality. A good book can even take you to places you have never been, even greater than the Eifel tower in Paris, or the statue of Liberty in New York harbour, or much more grand than the cherry blossoms in Japan. Your mind is complex beyond understanding and you can visualize interpret what you have read in fascinating ways.

The question the might be circling your mind at this very moment is that, why should I take up a book and start reading, when I could just watch a movie and snap some picture saying movie date with myself.

The reason why you should start reading and stop strolling through your daily feeds, it is very simple. Because you need the time slow down, a time where you do not have to think about other peoples perfect life, a time to indulge in the impossible. Often times people are too busy comparing themselves to others who has a much more perfect life then they have. They keep doing this to an extent that they forget to enjoy their life. The road to a healthier life starts when you stop observing other people and start believing in yourself and picking up a book every once in a while.
