literature

A litmus test

early 15c., "book-learning," from Latin literatura/litteratura "learning, a writing, grammar," originally "writing formed with letters," from litera/littera "alphabetic letter" also "an epistle, writing, document; literature, great books; science, learning" (see letter (n.1)). In English originally "book learning" (in which sense it replaced Old English boccræft); the meaning "activity of a writer, the profession of a literary writer" is first attested 1779 in Johnson's "Lives of the English Poets;" that of "literary productions as a whole, body of writings from a period or people" is first recorded 1812.

Something where I can learn to talk to myself and relate with existence. Something that keeps my brain from from rotting and where I can borrow minds when mine just lacks in every sense of the word.
A medium where I can scape without turning off my mind, something that happens to me with films and music, other mediums that I love (specially music) but that remember me of my past degenerate, sad self. Poetry, novels, are what keep that once big but now small light alive. Literature is where I can find the human without getting "too human".
