@Mr_NutterButter @beardalaxy The thing is, though, is that one needs to be of a right mind to absorb philosophical teachings. One of the problems I have with compulsorily reading is that the compulsed will very rarely think about the material beyond the surface level and will usually be put off from reading the material again at a time where he would have a better understanding of it. How many high school students read Romeo and Juliet and earnestly take it as a warning about young love, for example, instead of the-thing-we-have-to-read-in-class-with-antiquated-English?
