RE: The Book of Form and Emptiness by Ruth Ozeki | A Fermented Book Review

Sometimes, with the financial difficulties I am experiencing, I start to think about how challenging it can be to obtain money, not only to fund personal interests such as reading, but also to cover basic necessities. However, I then consider that it is impossible to obtain more time than you already have.

You could say that you can sacrifice certain things to have more time, but in reality, what you are doing is managing the time you already have. You don't get more, but rather you change the amount you are going to spend on each thing you need to do. At the end of the day, you will still have the same amount of time to spend.

I make this comment because I understand perfectly well that sometimes you don't have time for enjoyment, to sit down for a moment to read a book, to do something you've wanted to do for a long time. I'm always struggling with that, and one of the things that always bothers me is not having as much time to read as I did when I was in high school.

I didn't continue reading because these types of books catch my attention and I didn't want to spoil it for myself.

Thanks for the post.
