music, books, love and kindness

Just a mishmash of things related to why books are sometimes better for the soul than other people are...I like the below link except for #12 which I think completely misses the point of Beauty and The Beast (unless they are joking):

There are times when I really do think it is better to just stick with books and care about people from afar, where you cannot possibly bother them and your heart is safer. I love people, I really do, but as soon as I actually interact with them, especially ones I really like, I seem to mess things up.
