I used to always wonder that how can people have the enthusiasm and the patience to read an already read book again. but today out of no where i realised that it is worth an another read. Why you may think. The reason being Evolution. Yes...! Evolution is a phrase used when we know that we have grown for the better. Our perspectives have changed. Our views have broadened. We can see issues in a much different light today unlike past. The experience and knowledge are the key words here. They make an old, difficult issue look easy today. Its like Maths of the yesteryears that looks so easy today, as against those times when we used to struggle with it.

Coming back to the story of the Re-reading of a book/ article. We read the same passage of the book, but this time with a different perspective and mind set. May be we are on the opposite side of the thought process as against the last time when we read this same passage giving different meaning. Re-reading refreshes the old topic but this time it brings with t isome new realisation. Realisations hit us everytime when we read the same page over and over again. Today that topic sounds familiar and easy to deal with and tomorrow it may look elementary. We can relate to it much better now. Thats the power of experience and knowledge. The present circumstances also drive the thought process. For example, reading the daily horoscope at the start of the day and and at the end of the day. Same paragraph could be given different meaning. Sometimes opposite too. We may think that were we that stupid that we were not able to understand such a trivial point? We could have saved some much time and energy if we would have understood this point then. But hey, thats the fun of life. We grow from our old selves and evolve to live a cheerful future.

Now, the question is, are you gonna re-read your old book to be more wiser than yesterday...?
