Reading with Integrity

Integrity cannot be gained, it must be part of the soul that wishes to control and use it for acts of selfless generosity.

Tranquility is a state of mind that comes only to the wise and levelheaded.

Intellect is many peoples desire but is only achieved through discipline and determination.

Three words that many people say they possess but most have not acquired.

Through the door of reading lays the pathways to these forces of body and soul.

Integrity lies on the pathway of selflessness and generosity, both of which are displayed through well-depicted characters in a book.

Tranquility lays on the pathway to peacefulness and quiet, both of which are needed to enjoy a good book.

Intellect lies on the pathway of knowledge and wisdom, which are included behind the meanings of complex sentences and vocabulary.

Integrity, tranquility, and intellect usually mean nothing to the illiterate, but mean everything to those who escape the real world with a book in hand.
