/^t/Man has always wanted to understand his or her fellow human beings. The search for understanding has prompted man to think. Thoughts were a way to probe into the other man's realm of ideas. Man has always felt the urge to share his or her thought, he, therefore, attempted to record them the best he could. Ancient drawings on cave walls or computer-edited texts; they all testify to the universal need of human beings to understand and be understood. That's why humans read. They read to be able to find a point of reference for themselves. They read to find out more about the other and at the same time to find out more about themselves. This is how make sure we are not alone in our quest to understand the world around us.
