4 :: Because You Don’t Read
第四宗罪：你从不阅读。
Because you read the things you are required to read or nothing at all.
因为你要么就是读些必读的书，要么就是根本连读都不读。
Because you think history is boring and philosophy is stupid.
因为你觉得历史枯燥无味，哲学更是愚蠢可笑。
Because you would rather sit and watch “E!” or “MTV” instead of exploring something new, instead of diving head first, into the brain of another man in an attempt to better understand the world around you.
因为你宁可坐在那看八卦新闻、音乐台，也不愿意去学点新东西，不愿一头扎进其他人的思想里去更好地了解这个世界。
Because you refuse to acknowledge that all the power in the world comes from the words of those that lived before us. That anything you desire can be had by searching through the multitude of words that are available to us now more abundantly than ever before.
你不愿承认，世界上所有的力量都源自先人的思想。你不愿承认你想要的所有东西，都能从那前人无数的思想里寻获，且在当下，寻获这些信息是前所未有的便捷。
Because you are probably not reading this article even though you know you should.
你大概连这篇文章都看不完吧，即使你清楚自己应该从头到尾看一遍。
Because the people that are reading this already know these things.
现在正在看这文章的人，都已经懂得这些道理。
Because you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.
而你，虽可引马到水边，却不能让马低头饮。
