Bookmarks

"The world is my bookmark!"

That's my opinion on bookmarks. Once, I walked into a fast food place and before going up to the counter like a normal person, I used one of the ads on the tables to save my place in a book I was reading. This largely comes from the fact that I always lose my bookmarks so I hate investing in one.

Without bookmarks, dehumanization would be imminent, as everyone would be quickly driven insane by the constant need to find their page again, esp. having left the book for a few days. Also, it is well known that the only thing stopping world peace is illiteracy (because with more literate people we would have more book nerds who are very sane people to balance and overwhelm the crazies) and the only reason this exists is the utter lack of bookmarks and people getting fed up of reading without bookmarks so they tell their friend not to be literate and they unlearn how to read.

So, bookmarks are important.

"Sensitive people who were used to a rich intellectual life may have suffered much pain (they were often of a delicate constitution), but the damage to their inner selves was less… Only in this way can one explain the apparent paradox that some prisoners of a less hardy make-up often seemed to survive camp life better than did those of a robust nature."
-Viktor E. Frankl (Man's Search for Meaning)
