"反省せずに読むことは消化せずに食べることに似ている"
— Edmund Burke

Simplified Meaning:
When we read something but don't think about it or try to understand it, it's like eating food without digesting it. Just like our bodies need to break down food to gain nutrients, our minds need to process information to learn from it. For example, if you read a book about history quickly without paying attention, you won’t remember the important events or lessons. But if you take your time to think about what you've read, you'll understand it better and remember it longer. So, to gain the full benefit of reading, we should pause and reflect on what we've learned. This way, we can use this knowledge in our everyday lives, make better decisions, and grow wiser.
