فقر فرهنگی


Every now and then, I feel an extreme flow of disappointment rushing down on me. I feel shallow and superficial. A huge void opens in me and shows my deep illiteracy... A piece of art or literature would always do the trick:
I start piling my bedside table with books and look at some paintings online to feel better. This process of hating myself for not-knowing-or-dealing- with-enough-of-arts-or-literature and then reading something and finally forgiving myself takes two days or so.

Although this old story's happened over and over again, I always fall into the trap. Thanks to Babak who, subconsciously maybe, always handled this confused and strange version of myself pretty well!!

Dear Loolu,

The more you read and the more you educate yourself in any field you realize that the less you know... I get the same feeling sometimes. But unlike you I do not feel bad or disappointed because of that. In fact I try to use this feeling as a motivational factor. I guess The only difference between you and me is that you try to learn about everything all the time at anytime, but I prioritize my interests.

Anyway, knowing you and reading your blog is one of the things that help me stay focus on my goals, thank you

I've developed a defense mechanism over this: it's not the "stuff" you know that matters most, it's what you can do with knowing them that does. I mean information is an unprocessed form of data. It's the ability to process the information that affects the way you think...
it's a mechanism I told you, but I like it :)
