“You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture Just get people to stop reading them”
— Ray Bradbury

Simplified Meaning:
Destroying a culture can happen without setting books on fire. If people stop reading, they lose touch with important ideas, stories, and knowledge from their past. Imagine a small town with a library full of local history and traditions. If no one uses the library, the stories and lessons that shaped the town's identity start to fade away. People forget their roots, the wisdom of their ancestors, and what makes their community unique. Over time, this loss of reading leads to a loss of cultural identity. To keep a culture alive, it's important to read and connect with the stories and knowledge from the past.
