Every person is trapped in their own particular bubble of delusion, and it’s every person’s task in life to break free. Books can help. We can make the past into the present, take you back in time and help you remember. We can show you things, shift your realities and widen your world, but the work of waking up is up to you.
This was a book club read and I think perhaps book clubs help us do as this quote says: exam books closer, consider how they can relate to our lives, and truly look at how we can change our own stories to make our stories/ourselves better people.
