Reading builds empathy
By reading about characters and situations vastly different from our own, we can develop greater empathy and compassion.
Good literature challenges our biases, beliefs, and stereotypes, opening our minds to the realities and experiences of others.
Books can broaden our perspectives and help us become more understanding and emphatic human beings.
Whether we realize it or not, our experiences and backgrounds shape the way we view the world around us.
These perspectives can often be limited or one-sided, preventing us from fully appreciating the struggles and triumphs of others.
