Libraries: a cave where genius abides

If you find no library card in your wallet or purse you are not a self-learner. You are at best a dilettante, a dabbler in knowledge.

A self-learner has a multitude of clamoring questions, in a multitude of domains of knowledge, seeking answers. To discover the nature of reality and the answers to these questions one must have access to a library of books.

Most colleges have a ‘Friend of the Library’ card, which, for a small annual fee, will allow anyone to borrow books from that library.

After schooling is over the experience of learning begins. I think that the first step toward becoming a self-actualizing self-learner is to acquire at least one library card.

Public libraries are not just for kids on field trips.
Public libraries are so much more than a book storage facility.
Public libraries are places where people from all walks of life are welcome.
Public libraries are wonder-filled places where people of ignorance can find genius, a place where the homeless can find shelter and where the educated can find inspiration.
Public libraries smell like knowledge and taste like wisdom.
Public libraries are truly beautiful from the inside out.
Visiting public libraries often and for long periods of time is a modern form of respecting our elders.
Humanity is summed up in the content of the written word which can be found in a public library near you.
To study the masters from within a public library is a humbling and awe-inspiring experience for some people.

What do you do, write one thing and post it all over the internet????

I'm offended!

Don't be. The real deal buys, lends, begs or steals books, but NEVER returns them. Libraries are for the people that put the 'right' book on the coffee table when visitors are expected

Well, he does periodically discuss his SPAM, which I guess is a point, of sorts, in his favor. Though long winded messages with trite points probably cancels out that point... {shrug}

You missed several. I could name at least three more forums that you didn't list that get the same posts on the same day.

And just for fun...

Kinda reminds me of Plato's cave analogy.
