People saying reading is good. Reading is knowledge. I believe reading is worth your general knowledge and the way you can change a person's point of view.

Filling heads with knowledge and stories, makes a person live in a different perspective view, that enhance their understanding thus helping others to know the state of mind of another person.

That's where we often left out from being well-developed to face the things we often feared of. That's ourselves from books. So read when you know it's the right time to fill the strength of your need-to-know or desire-of.
