Simplified meaning
When we go about our daily lives, everyone around us – from advertisers trying to sell things to friends or family giving advice – wants to influence our choices and decisions. This can feel overwhelming, like lots of noise constantly around us. However, when people who love to read fiction pick up a book, they are looking for a break from all this pressure. Reading a story allows them to escape and enjoy a world where they can think and feel freely without someone trying to shape their thoughts. Imagine it’s like taking a quiet walk in the park where you’re away from the busy city. For many, this quiet and imaginative experience offers a refreshing sense of freedom and calm. If you’re feeling bombarded by others’ opinions, diving into a good novel might be just the getaway you need.
