When you stop reading, you stop writing.
When you stop writing, you stop thinking.
When you stop thinking, you stop feeling.
When you stop feeling, you stop believing.
When you stop believing, you stop building.
When you stop building, you stop bettering.
When you stop bettering, you stop caring.
When you stop caring, you stop living.
When you stop writing, you stop thinking.
When you stop thinking, you stop feeling.
When you stop feeling, you stop believing.
When you stop believing, you stop building.
When you stop building, you stop bettering.
When you stop bettering, you stop caring.
When you stop caring, you stop living.
