“An active engagement with written material through reflective thought gained by reading and writing leads to intellectual growth. A person whom fails to read and write will experience mental stagnation. Failure to cultivate ideas by exposing oneself to written material limits a person’s resources to what they see and hear.

The more external stimuli a person exposes themselves to, the less time that is available for pursing mental, emotional, and spiritual growth.”
