Why we get connected to a love story more easily than the
tragedy stories while reading books.
We often buy books
online and read most of the time, reading is irrespective of the genre but
majority of the readers, get connected to the love stories more easily than any
others. It is also one of the reasons that romance is the genre where maximum
number of fiction books are written. Can’t believe? Browse any online bookstore
and you will be startled to find it, as a fact.
We actually chase happiness, we try to find it in these
books, or we sometimes, empathize, sometimes relate to the incidents and smile
on our own when we are reading these love stories. Though it is rightly quoted
by Mandy Hale, that, “Happiness doesn't have to be chased...it merely has to be
chosen.”
But books actually either take us away from our world or
take us to our past. And this is the fact that they generate so much interest.
It is an age old saying that ‘Past is always beautiful, present toughest and
future scary’, books mostly take us to our past, thus giving that dose of
happiness which we lack in our life.
Look, try to recall all of us must have noticed it atleast
once, while reading a love story we end up remembering our ex-lovers! This
happens despite the fact that we have moved on long ago, and are already in
another stable and happy relationships. This is the magic of books.
Never ever a human life is complete, this is a fact, if the life
comes to a satisfaction level, and we will eventually lose interest in it. And it
is those things, that we feel we lack or we lacked or we wish to happen, that
we try to find in the books. Humans are very emotional and social species, we
depend on our emotions to reach out to people. Psychologists have put up
several theories on powers of our mind.
Even when we buy books online, we browse online bookstores, go through several
books and ultimately try to zero in on the book, which we believe will relate
most to us.
To sum up, it is basically ourselves, our past, our future
that we are chasing while we are reading books.
TO END UP: Forget all this crap ;) go ahead buy books online
and read.
Happy Reading!
