A Word of Advice on Reading

It is true that there is always something that we could learn from a book, yes, from any kind of books altogether. But Francis Bacon is also right when he said: "Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested."

Be careful therefore with what you swallow, or chew and digest. For there are kinds of books, many of them really, that are good only for tasting, but not advisable for consumption of the heart for they act as poison, when permitted to enter the mind, with the capacity to corrupt and destroy.

And there are books that are good only for kindling stoves and ovens!

While we don't agree for the reinstatement of the Index Librorum Prohibitorum (Index of Forbidden Books) or any such tyranny against the individual conscience and the human will, yet it's good for us as responsible individuals to wisely exercise good discrimination in the books that we allow to have a place in our mind and heart.

If we are careful and exercise great caution and discretion in what we allow into our stomach, being vigilant that we don't harm ourselves by inattention and by wrong food choices. Should we be totally careless then when it comes to what we allow entrance to our thinking and will?

Wrong food choices harm only your physical body, and yet you won't allow that, if you can help it, for you give importance to your body. How much all the more of consequence is your heart, mind and soul that could be poisoned by perverted beliefs and opinions of foolish authors if you allow negligence to have its way while you read their works.

"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good; abstain from every form of evil." (1 Thessalonians 5:21-22)

"Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." (Proverbs 4:23)
