Reading plays is more interesting than studying science.
उत्तर
Reading plays has always been more fascinating than studying facts. It is the imaginative and far-fetched insight into things that grips one’s interest in reading plays. It develops a critical bent of mind which is helpful in our daily life and its problems. Science is all about the existing facts and learning of those facts. While reading plays, one gets to learn about human nature and its vices and virtues.
Whereas science is about observing the facts that are already set, plays are about observing what one wrote and rebuilding one’s own understanding of it. There is no compulsion of accepting it as a truth laid by someone. Therefore, nothing matches being imaginative and thoughtful.
