Summary

This quote suggests that as a society, we have become overly reliant on information and knowledge found in books as the solution to all our problems. It implies that we have lost our ability to think critically, seek innovative solutions, and rely on our own abilities.

The quote highlights the need for resourcefulness and self-reliance rather than solely depending on bookish knowledge.

If I could be more vague I'd write more about people in my life, but I hate hurting feelings or making people feel uncomfortable. I've done that before. Unless they're sad songs.
