The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.
Alan Bennett
===I totally agree===
So, I'm one of those people whose life has been greatly affected by the kind of education they have got: Studying a foreing language, the English language, and knowing about other countries' cultures, civilizations and lifestyles.
And as I a have always had a thirst for learning and enlarging my knowledge, I think that fact has even made the situation worse.
I'm no longer the same person who has been raised to respect her family's traditions and beliefs. I've always been expected to behave in a particular way and to cling to certain religious beliefs.
Now I'm totally lost. I started to question everything I once took for granted.
Is that something normal? Please give me your opinion and I'm willing to talk more about the topic and explain different things if you are interested.
Thanks in advance!
P.S My discussion is related to language learning, so I hope italki won't remove it.
