About three years ago, this column was composed from a message that was found on the side of a paper coffee cup at a local Starbucks.
The coffee company created a set of “The Way I See It” messages, and this was No. 225. One only assumes that 224 went before, but who’s counting?
This is message No. 225: “People don’t read enough. And what reading we do is cursory, without absorbing the subtleties and nuances that lie deep within – Wow, you’ve stopped paying attention, haven’t you? People can’t even read a coffee cup without drifting off.”
The lines were attributed to the creator and executive producer of the television drama “House,” David Shore.
A few days ago, a friend raised a concern that young people today do not know how to read and show little interest in being informed.
