About This Quote
We all need time to relax and enjoy ourselves, but we don’t all have that much time. In our busy lives, we don’t have the luxury of sitting still and doing nothing. So, what do we do? We find ways to fill our time with entertainment. We read books on subjects that interest us.
We watch movies or television shows. We play games on our computer or console. Reading a book is a similar experience to watching a movie or playing a video game.
It allows us to escape from reality while being entertained at the same time. But there is a difference between entertainment and recreation. If we only watch movies and never read books, then we are missing out on an important part of life.
