    Yes, I agree that the average student finds their studies to be quite dull. However, I don't agree with the rest of the above quote. I think it's the individual's fault, not the textbook editor's. Perhaps to some extent it is the teacher's fault, but not in most cases, at least from what I've observed.

    Personally, I love my textbooks. Even my Math textbook.

    I guess some things never change - I felt the exact same way when I was in school - almost fifty years ago.

    Some students love school, and some don't. It has always been that way, and will continue to be that way forever.

    philosophical things are interesting to me and of course I am pleased that I learn something from them.

    In school children do not find learning as a a matter of pleasures, They find it boring. This is owing to the fact that textbooks are not written in a manner they can be joyful or they are not taught in a manner students can be absorbed .

    If we can find pleasures in learning the process of learning will be expedited.
    yes, but that is because the book is lazy or the teacher is crazy, the way of learning is through the teacher, and the teacher shall learn as both go. B.

    Learning can be a subject of pleasure if and only if you can come upon a subject that is interesting and a self chosen subject. We should choose a subject that gives lasting interest.

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
