Good Company

Reading a book about likeable people, whether real or fictional, is good medicine for loneliness. Beyond being just good entertainment, it allows one to take part in the lives of others, enjoy their personalities and react to them emotionally.

I used to know that, when I was in elementary school. I never explicitly thought otherwise, but somehow along the way -- as I (mostly) conquered my reading addiction -- I forgot that feeling. I'm glad to remember it.
