"A room without books is like a body without a soul"
Simplified meaning
Imagine a house without any decorations or furniture—it feels empty and cold. Just as furniture makes a house feel alive and welcoming, books do the same for a room. Books bring stories, knowledge, and ideas that can inspire, educate, and entertain us.
Think about a library or a friend's cozy reading nook filled with books. It feels full of life and energy. Similarly, a person needs purpose, emotions, and thoughts to feel truly alive, much like a soul animates the body. By adding books to a room, you give it character and warmth, making it a place where creativity and wisdom flourish. In life, if you surround yourself with varying ideas and stories, you'll feel more fulfilled and thoughtful.
