Books give you a better perspective on life.

Some wag over at Reddit posted this filk:

It’s not a bad analogy. Books serve many functions. They make you smarter, increase your vocabulary, help you write better, improve your analytical thinking, reduce stress, bump your memory skills, broaden your horizons, help you see deeper into reality, and they can be a delightful escape from life’s challenges. The image above implies that books occasionally present a dark reality; “If it be true I am content to have paid the price–for the memory.”^[1]
