The Visual I was in conversation with a woman the other day when out of left field she told me that she cannot understand a book or magazine article when she reads it. She would much rather watch a movie or see a video to get the facts. This bothered me because as I listened I realized that not only was she sadly mistaken to believe that by watching a movie based on a book she would get the full gist of the book, but she would miss so much that the written word offers that a movie cannot pour into two hours. When I asked if it was because there were words she didn’t understand in some books or was she choosing subjects that didn’t interest her from the get go she told me she needs the visual. I think her exact words were, “I have to see it to understand; I need the visual”. I knew what she meant, but it saddened me to think about all the wonderful books she would miss out on because she would never give them a chance. That got me to thinking about other areas in our lives. How often have we had to have the visual, taken the easy way and never even known what was possible because we didn’t put forth an effort to dig deeper and try harder? It seems as though too many people want the easy way out. I prefer the book over the movie in most instances. I want to really know the character, see him develop and learn what makes him tick. I want to get from the beginning to the end with every word read because the author wrote it, feeling it was important to the story. The editor chose to leave it in because it fit, and I have the chance to decide for myself if it works or not. Because that is the same way I look at life, I think it has helped me learn about people and see them differently than others might. There is a whole story behind why they do what they do. They have lived a life, a book written, pages filled with their autobiography up to the point I am involved. It takes time to read that book, get to know the real person and decide if they are worthy of my friendship. If I took the movie route to know the person, I would be shortchanging the person and myself, too. It could go either way and basing it only on the visual isn’t fair to either of us. I think the world would be a whole lot better place if we didn’t take the movie route. Let’s all read the book.
